Question on Wheels
I need help deciding on wheels, I have narrowed it down to two options:
Pro Comp La Paz Series 29 - 17x8.5 4.75" BS
or
ATX Cornice AX195 - 17x9 4.5" BS
I really like the ATX's, however I am concerned with running a 9" wide wheel with 285/70/R17 tires.
I've read in multiple places that it would be a lot easier to pop a bead with a 9" wheel on this size tire. Is this a legitimate concern? But, I also understand that a 9" wheel will be "future proof" for when I go with a larger/wider tire (35x12.50's).
I always air down to 15 psi, I currently don't have any need to go lower.
Thanks for the help!

That's kind of what I was thinking also. I really like the looks of them vs. the Pro Comps.
Also, it appears that the ATX's are lug centric since they have a 78.3mm bore. I'm assuming this will require a hub centric ring of some sort and new lug nuts?
