when i was thinking about taller tires this morning, my mind started to wander down a few more paths on correcting suspension issues. So beyond the impact of levels and lifts and ucas i thought about the following:
-wheel offsets-does changing the wheel offset affect angles...and wear and tear. from a few snippets I've read, if nothing else, too drastic an offset can require longer cv joints? how do you know? wheel wear? only by getting an alignment check?
-taller...or shorter tires than stock- i never see anyone talk about how tire height changes affect this stuff. 33 inch wheel and a 35 inch wheel both touch the ground. lol. so on one hand it seems to me zero effect, no issue. but a nudging part of me says it must impact something? if it does, it never seems to come up. discussions seem to center around tire clearance, weight of rims and tires, mileage affected. so maybe i'm going down a path with no door here?
