Default Help!

I need help. I recently put 27x9x12 front and 27x10x12 rear tires on my 2014 Suzuki Kingquad 500axi. I understand I have I have 12" rims. I'm wanting to purchase after market rims for it. But I'm not understanding what the 12x7 5+2 means when I go to purchase them. Can someone tell me the exact size rims I need for front and rear?? Please.

12x7 is the diameter and width of the wheel in inches. 5+2 is inches of offset. I have no idea what it's supposed to be for that model but someone here should know. You may have to wait a bit.

Hi Sarah, the best thing to do would be to ask the same question in the Suzuki part of the forums.

When you say, "Once you have that, you automatically know the number for the opposite side as well since we know the two must add up to 7″ of width.", that's not taking into account the thickness of the wheel's hub. I would measure both sides to be sure.
