Advantages of Larger Wheels?

Larger wheels are only better under 2 basic situations.
A: To clear larger brakes as said above, in our case this is not a problem.
B: If you plan on tracking the car on a course around corners and the tire size you want to run needs a larger wheel. Also not an issue with our trucks.
Otherwise a smaller wheel will generally be best. Better ride, better traction in a straight line, Cheaper tires, as a rule more tire options, no worry of pot holes killing wheels ect.
In some cases larger wheels look better (within reason, not a fan of the massive wheel with rubber bands for tires at ALL).
