the wheels i like are ITP ss108's

my questions are:

#1 Should i stick with the 12x7's or step up to the 14x7's

#2 What tires, the 2ply stock ones just don't hold up well dont really need anything too aggressive as this is a 2wd and doesn't see much deep mud mostly trail riding

thanks

 

If you have the money and you don't really do much mudding, then I would go for the 14x7 rims. The 14x7 rims will increase the stability of the ATV on the trail.

Now for tires...hmmm...
Well, this part is always the hardest decision to make on any ATV, well, it is for me anyway. ITP Mudlite XTRs I hear are good (radial tires), Carlisle XLR tires are good (radials), Maxxis Bighorns (radial), ITP Terracross (radial...and my favorite), and thos are all the really good ones I can think of. I'm sure there's others but hopefully someone else will list them.

And I see that you are new to the forum!! WELCOME TO ATVCONNECTION!!!!!!!

will the 14x7's on the front change the handling of the bike?

the ones that are on there now are really narrow

and thanks for the welcome

 

no your should stay the same tho it may handle better than before with 14's run say 26x9R14 front and a 26x11r14 rear. . . Machine will place you never thought possable I've seen it done with my own 2 eyes it works wounder's. . .

I've also seen the 420 done with the 26x11r14's all the way around. . .
