the flex you woud lose is in the tire... the tire flexes around objects for optimum traction... a rim doesnt flex at all... so the less sidewall you have to flex around the obsticles the less traction... you dont lose flex in your suspension....
ok, i have an 05 1500 standard cab and im running 17x9 mickey t's with 315/70/10 or 35 and when i go off road i flex the truck out and no rub.. trust me they dont rub i had the back right wheel off the ground. i really love the ride but i lost my accel like hell with the 35's... just my $0.02
are you leveled or what? also the rear is not where the tires would rub... i know with the right backspacing and offset you have a better chance of less rub..
