Does anyone have c series aluminum wheels on their solid rear axel arctic cat or have you seen anyone with them. I want a set of aluminum wheels but can't seem to find them anywhere. Am i alone is that why they don't make them. Please help i need to lighten the 589's.

 

Hi Ricerocket, do you have the 589's on stock rims? I have a 400 with ACT suspension and I am wondering if the 12 wides on stock rims will rub on the rear shocks.

 

Whas up?? I have a 400 ACT with 27X12 bearclaws on the back. First I added 1" aluminum spacers, that solved them rubbing the shocks. It only rubs on the left side now, and only because I have the 'claws aired down to 3 PSI, and only rubs when there's lots of sidewall flex, like in off camber situations. If you keep them at 5-6 PSI, they never touch the shocks. I used stock rims all the way around as well. There's lots of room in the front, no worries there. As far as power, it didn't take that much away from me, reverse could be an issue in the mud, but it turns them fine otherwise. I lost about 2-3 MPH on top end, but couldn't care less, I didn't buy it to race it.
I would say you can use a standard aluminum wheel, they're the same bolt pattern, but you might have to use spacers. Spacers won't hurt anything with the ACT rear end either.

 

I have wondered the same thing. i ahvent seen anyting for a straight axle!!

 

Don't know why they don't make them. The offset is different than that of an IRS, and for some reason they won't make the extra spec rim. I had Deltas on an ACT cat. Not as light of course, but at least they fit, and no rubbing problems either.
