Why is it dangerous? Because of the extra leverage on the stock hub or suspension? It might make a difference - IDK.

Or for another reason that I cant think of?

Just want to know (for myself) and to point this out to someone thinking of doing the same mod. Any of our mods could be dangerous so it is on the owner to know what they are getting into. Saftey is number one.

I have put offset wheels with much larger tires on my 92 Jeep Wrangler that I owned for 25 years. They sticks out about 2 inches from the factory flares but is about 4 - 4.5 inches wider than factory and I never had a problem. I have Taking it off road several times (and its had some air time) and I never had a problem. But the RV is much heaver (Not air time for my RV - LOL).

I just like to know both side of this project - no arguments please.
