Right, they are not supported by the vehicle. Now that I give it some more thought, I see the height increase comes from the bottom radius of the tire, and that lifts up the center of the wheel itself up, meaning nothing changes with respect to relation between hub/axel and connection to the rest of the vehicle. That would change with a lift kit or spacers, but not just by tires. Thank you for catching the error of my thinking.Putting larger tires on the vehicle does NOT change anything with the geometry/angles of the suspension (unless you consider the spare's increased weight increasing the payload). Wheels/tires are not supported by the vehicle suspension, and thus changing their height/weight doesn't cause the vehicle to sag any more or less.
