Why do you need more ground clearance?

Did it occour to you that you wld be compromising vehicle center of gravity to make u for ground clearance?

Somethings just ain't necessary.
You think about it.

Hmm, i dont think changing rims to a larger one will alter the center of gravity, modifying the suspension might alter it but not rim change.

I might be wrong anyway, but i solely do not think it will alter anything except for consumption and speedometer.
