Tony...obviously you get involved in these projects as your livelihood and based on your experience with the 22" and larger rim/tire combinations...do you see long term negative effects from the additional unsprung weight ?

I had OEM 22" Rims/Tires on my last Escalade and I was AMAZED as to how much heavier they were than the 18's and even the 20". I went through front bearing hub assembly's and brakes like crazy...suspension pieces took a beating also. Are there heavier components available to compliment the heavier rim/tire assembly's ?

the 26 inch dub future with a 295 30 26 is lighter than the escalade 24x10 reps with 305 35 24. LIke i showed on my old escalade it saved 8 pounds on each wheel/tire combo.

the 285 45 22 on the oem rims are 3 pounds lighter than the 26s with the tires mounted so its not that bad
