Title: HELP axle problems
Post by: New Jeep Owner on May 04, 2009, 11:16:15

Hiya guys i'm new to the site and ive just purchased a jeep CJ8. In the hope to soon get it worthy enough for a decent of road session. I've borrowed a set of bigger wheels and tyres from a friend and fitted them they seems to look the part but alot of people have told me this will put strain on the axle's and cause a short life of them. not sure if they are right and is there anything i can do to prevent thm breaking or should i return the wheels. Cheers guys

What size do you call bigger?

The axles / drivetrain / engine can take bigger tyres - just not stupid sizes ;)

Don't worry at all - you will be fine :D :D

Not a big move at all - now if 35" you may need to look at doing something ;)
