19's to vegas
 
has anyone gone to vegas on the 15 North freeway with 19's. i now that the road does have some bumps crossing those little bridges. i usually go every month to visit family when i had stock rims but now i hestitate to go cuz im scared i might bend a rim.

how big of a bump or pothole do i have hit in order to bend a rim?

You should be fine. dont even worry about it.

you'd need a pot hole at least 2-3 inches deep to cause some damage.

just slow it down a lil when u see the big yellow sign that says BUMP! there will be at least 15 of them. you'll be fine though.

you should be fine. they're doing some construction on the 15, but you'll definitely know it, slow down like mad b/c the downgrade is pretty big and the road is rough. but, mine were fine (except the damn toyo's are too loud).

i'm just envious that you're not driving in slalom mode like i do in nyc. 19's + nyc roads = bent rims/shot suspension... :)

thanks for the feedback, but im here now, just arrived and no bent rims. it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. damn 55mph construction zone though. it was killing me.

Congratulations on making it safe and sound. Hopefully it's better on the way back.
