Well right now i'm running on 19x8.5 and 19x10 tires with 245/35/19 and 285/30/19 s-03s. i was wondering, should i hit a pothole or a big bump, what would be easier on the rims (as in not bend them) a stiff setting or soft setting? i'm running Tein CS with urethane bushings all around and I can definitely notice a difference between my stiff and soft settings. I been riding on a 8/12 setup and tried out 4/8 today and noticed that i feel every lil thing in the road, even the painted marks. So is a softer setting less likely to bend a rim when i hit a major bump/pothole? (my only thinking right now is more cushion on the suspension so less stress on rim/tire, just like to confirm)

Thanks

You are correct. Softer = easier on rims. Energy is absorbed by the suspension, rather than the tires/rims. Of course, too soft is not good for handling.
