Nice looking wheel/fender. Did you go the cut/rake route or bolt on trees?

Question...
The stock tires are 16"/17", correct? The new rims are 21"??? That's a 4"/5" difference lifting the axle 2"/2.5"? A 1" lowering on the back corrects for the height, a little.
How does the taller rims change the ride?
