|  Narrow vs wide wheel
What are the pros and cons of narrow vs wide wheels? For crawling and for cornering at speed.

What about handling, which option will be better for crawling? Which is better for cornering at speed? And why?

It's about everything though. Foams, tires, wheel width. What is your main purpose of yours? Racing, trail runs, g6, crawling? If you plan to do a few you adapt what works best. I think Method stock are too narrow and the stock too wide. That's mainly based on existing tires out and foams available. |

I am hoping for an all around, middle of the road kind if thing, but I guess mostly u4, fast over very rocky terrain, with some dirt and mud, plus a bit of mild crawling and trail running... Any good tire / foam recommendations? I have a set of slw v4s, stock wheels, and some proline Titus 2.2s. |
