8mm difference is going to make the transfer case suffer? how come?

assuming a dead straight line, over 1 mile the smaller tyre will have turned 696 times compared to 688 times. this is much less work than a centre diff would have to do even with 4 absolutely identically size tyres if the car so much as turned a couple of corners within 1 mile

Congrats on the car but I'm not feeling your wheels.

Maybe its the wheel gap or the offset, they look like their sticking out too far.

22s look a tad too large... 21s would be the biggest I'd go.
