: Front wheels stick out further than rear??? grego5972 07-08-2006, 05:03 PM Hi all , new to 2500 s and the diesel place. Just sold an 05 f 250 and got 06 duramax and I love it. I just put a set of 114 eagles on and the rear sit perfect to me but the front seem to be sitting out further. Is this normal or an illusion?? oh yea the wheels are 20 x 8.5. Thanks. afp1 07-08-2006, 05:15 PM The front track width of a stock truck is about 2.5" more than the rear track. Many lift kits add stick the front out even more. 96vette 07-09-2006, 01:06 AM Wider track in the front is for two reasons 1 is for clearance for turning and the other is so your back wheels dont ride in the same track as the front thus gaining more traction for the rear wheels in mud snow etc. richard cheese 07-10-2006, 01:33 PM Wider track in the front is for two reasons 1 is for clearance for turning and the other is so your back wheels dont ride in the same track as the front thus gaining more traction for the rear wheels in mud snow etc. neverthought of it like that.. afp1 07-10-2006, 02:42 PM I ahve always found the offset in track to be a negative. When I am driving on heavily rutted roads, the front tires seem to always be fighting the rear tires. The truck is constantly wandering in and out of the ruts. This was especially pronounced when I had my Rancho lift. Things are much better with the Tuff Country. | ||
