I don't worry about that. I have been driving 4x4 on big tires for the last 40 years or so. From 33 to 38 inch and yes its different but you get used to it as everything else. I look forward to try it out in the snow and its more slippery then the wet roads.

Found this online today guys as I’m looking to go to a set of 215/75/15. It suggests that the standard 5.5 inch rim wouldn’t be suitable for that width of tyre. Makes sense particularly when you’ve aired down. Is this rubbish? What do you guys think?
It suggests that the standard rim 5.5 inches can run a max 195 width tyre. To safely run a 215 width tyre you’d need a 7” rim. (Apparently)
Cars with low profile tyres are different to SUVs with high profile tyres. The standard fit for the gen3 is a 205 on a 5.5j rim. It is possible though difficult to find the recommended rim size for every single size of tyre from every brand as they are legally bound to provide it. As a general rule though the rim should be about 70pc the width of the tyre give or take ish.

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.
