Anyone ever have problems with...?

Bending your rims from daily driving? I noticed one rim was bent... but it was so tiny, but still hurt inside. It was probably less than a centimeter long... but it was still there. I think I'm running too thin tires, 245/30/20 front and 285/30/20 rears... should I go 35's instead? Any of you guys ever had problems with damaging your rims going over potholes or anything?

I paid a wheel shop to bend it back and now it's 100% perfect, just like new again. But iono... when I had my TSW's... nothing ever went wrong... I thought dpe's were supposed to be light, forged, and extra strong. I ran 245/35/20 front and 275/35/20 rear on my tsw's and never had a problem.

Someone chime in and please help! Thanks in advance.

you should def be Running 245/35 and 275/30. i think that would def be better and offer more protection and also dont speed lol. Plus i think 285 would rub once you get a drop
