anyone know how much it would cost to get rims narrowed?

Does it affect drivablity or safety of the vehicle?

I've heard that running skinnies on a DD isn't that smart. You lose braking power and your steering isn't as good as before. I was thinking of buying some draglites all the way around on mine and a lot of people advised me not to if it was my daily driver.
Sure, anything that's affected by tread size will affect the drivability. You just have to adjust your driving habbits accordingly.

you can run a 4" skinny for a dd with no problems I wouldn't use a 3.5" for a dd for the 15" x 3.5" a standard ..r165x 15 tire will work great
