I took my quad to the shop & they said both back wheels are bent. I plan on replacing all of them soon. My question is will 10" wheels fit on my Wolverine. I think I remember someone saying they will fit if you have spacers installed. Does anyone know if this is true?

You would have to space them out quite a ways to clear the calipers,not only look goofy, but the strain on the front spindles would break something pretty fast.Find Kodiak or Big Bear 4x4 rims from a salvage yard,exactly the same,but a little heavier duty.

I think I would just go with the ITP Magnum Wheels, they are 12" and they look awsome. They are 12x7 and they are $120 apiece. Thats alot of money though. I don't see why 10" wouldn't work, but I've never tried to change the rims. I would measure it and see, the way I look at it you would have to have a little over an inch of room from the caliper and the top of the rim with the 12s because the rim is 2" smaller and you will loose an inch on the top and the bottom. I could be totally wrong Im just guessing.

I would think that it would depend on the offset of the rims. I know that 11" rims off a Rancher will fit on the back. The Rancher has 12" rims on the front, and there's no reason you couldn't leave the 12inchers on yours, you'd just have to make sure the diameters of tires were the same.

I not going back to ITP's my next set will probably be Dougles Red labels w/beadlocks. One of my back wheels is crocked as hell.

Yeah they look great but it doesnt take much for them to bend. I'v been thinking of replacing them with .190 Douglas Red Labels. I've seen a couple of quads with Red Labels on w/beadlocks or wheelrings around the rim. Where can I find this combo? Do you have to buy the beadlocks seperate? ThanksWILL
