A couple of cans of black PlastiDip and you're in business! I can't stand two tone wheels, but that's just my opinion.

I went with cheaper tires, but FWIW, I have something like $2k into my wheels and tires. https://www.tirebuyer.com/tires/ironman/all-country-m-t/p/TV153001127...

AFAIK Black Rhino makes their "Arsenal" wheel in +12mm, which I believe makes it just about flush. I can't confirm that as I'm part of the sketchy -18 crew, sticking out the sides, begging for my spindle nuts and wheel bearings to fail. EDIT: Disregard - from what I was able to determine...

A few things to note, the wheel force listed here, I believe, is incorrect. That may be the center of balance, but the force is still applied at the hub face. That force may be greater, due to a longer arm, but it shouldn't move. If that's true, then the fulcrum "Wheel force" would not change...

That's fair, but the whole equation changes when you decrease the weight of the load by 1/3rd- Black Rhino Armory 17s - 37lbs ea, Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 37x12.5r17 78lbs ea Total 115lbs per point HMMWV Wheels...

Spacers are a whole other can of worms, bit I do agree. The difference in offset is approximately 1 inch going from stock 8/12/24 bolts to a -25 offset. That makes a difference, but it’s not huge. Nevertheless, I’m sure it makes a difference over a long enough period of time. Then again, if...

When was the last time those were serviced? Were they the single tab version? More importantly - Did the offset have anything to do with this failure? Does an increased arm cause increased stress on the spindle or just on the bearings? Go ahead, Doc, show your work.

I'm aware of them, I'm also aware of their cost. I get the sense, given their inflated price, that they're preying on people's fear of them failing. I'm a risk adverse person, but I still look at them and think, that's ridiculous. If it were that much of an issue, they would have completely...

I realize that the nature of the portal hubs changes things, but that’s only a couple of centimeters, about an inch, over stock. Guys have been doing 4-6 inches over stock for years, the only casualty being quicker bearing failure (and bad taste). Are these hubs really that sensitive to lever...
