Granted the UE 8mm drive shaft and hex are very strong. Many people will say that when making one component stronger you move breaking points to other weaker components. This is true to a point. In this case, the strength is in the driveshaft cvd, and axle. The Hex itself is the same size and steel. The 23mm adapter spreads the forces over a greater area there by reducing the stress on wheel. I have not heard of anybody stripping 23mm hexes. However now the tire /wheel glue area is now in jeapordy. So keep up on the glue job. And so on, and so on.....

The 40 series is wider, thus reducing turning/ steering and may not suit your needs. The taller tire may require different gearing. Wich is better is a matter of personal preference, and your individual needs, or wants as the case may be.

It sounds like you are questioning the wisdom of the UE cvd. I have them on my own truck and would not have it any other way.:Love: Go for the Dace 23mm Adapter, and pick a wheel that suits your needs.
