    Single axle 14" to 18" wheels

    has anyone done this? Any isuues besides bouncing a little more due to smaller sidewall?  i can get a deal on some take offs that are 18's. On my boat now is 14's.  The tire diameter is the same. It would look nice and be cheaper than buying new tires which i already need

    Ill keep that in mind, im not around my boat right now to look at anything. I know these tires are 1 inch wider than what i have now. Just a little worried about the offset and stuff
