Wide Wheels

I'm interested in knowing why so many of the trucks on this site are running wide wheels. I have a ram 1500 with 315/75/16 tires but only 8" wide rims which gives the sidewalls lots of protection from rocks. This means I have to run low air pressure to get a even footprint but also gives a softer ride. I wonder if this should be the max size tire to run with stock drivetrain. I only lifted the truck 2" on front with much needed new springs but I think I can fit a even larger tire. I love the large tires with the lower center of gravity. I remember seeing a full size chev blazer years ago ,he was running 40" tires with no lift ,just had the wheelwells cut out and a lovely job to.Love to hear someones experience with the benefit of those wide rims.

Hey Roy
Check my answer at your other post about Rim width
My old F150 had a two inch body lift and 38 inch tires 🙂
