Message	getting me going. It probably has to do with better traction that I get. At low gears: When I had stockers, they spinned = went no where. Wtih larger setup, it minimize the spinning = get going. At high gears: I still don't feel any difference in acceleration, but in addition, I get higher stability and control due to thin tire wall and wider stickier tires. In conclusion, I am VERY HAPPY and never have a sencond thought to step down. :) But why less aggressive front offset tho....? Erick ________
