Subject:      14"/15" wheels + BFG A/T KO - Q:Van height, handling improvement?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed

Howdy,

I've been lurking here for awhile and, while a bit overwhelmed at times with the volume, have enjoyed the dialog and knowledge transfer.

My question to you learned folks is this: Has anyone upgraded from 14" alloys w/ BFG A/T KO 27/8.5/14 to 15" alloys w/ BFG A/T KO 215/75/15? I'm considering this upgrade, but am wondering about the height increase and how much of a handling improvement I could expect. The book values on height increase indicate about 0.65", which makes my van a bit too tall to put in the garage.

Thanks,

Joel
