You are right, tire width has nothing to do with the wheel offset. But what i was gettin to was is if you put wider tires on the factory offset you run into rubbing the tie-rod problems. The result is brusting a front tire and not being able to turn.

spacers increase the width of the front of course to answer your other question

 

I still haven't heard anything back from my dealer on the offset but I'll report the info once I get it to see if others are finding the same.

In addition, are there any other beadlock wheels others would suggest? It looks like Douglas has a true beadlock, ITP has one that "looks" like a beadlock but the message comes across as it is more for looks than true functionality. Are there any others?

 

How are the bighorns? I've been seeing lots of people with them but at first glance they didn't appear to be very good until I followed a couple of people. They seemed to hug the trail pretty well. I didn't get to see them in the mud however ...

 

Bighorns are a good allaround tire.

Remember the gade has a diff. bolt pattern than most

 

As of now, I'm looking at the following options for tires:

But I may also just stick with the ATRs as they appear to be "ok" for what I'm going to be doing with my gade ... at least when I first get it anyway. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Is the bolt pattern on the outlander 4/110?

 

no the can-am bolt patern is 4/137.

 

Beadlocks are not required at all. I thougth about getting some and if i do i am goin OMF.

Search OMF beadlocks they can do almost any wheel.
