Anyone know if wheels from a 2000 Rancher are different than those of the 2001 and up Rancher?

 

Yes, they are the same, only difference is off-set between 2 and 4 wheel drive models

Thanks guys...

I thought so.... but the guy at ebay had them listed as 01-07 ....

I just picked up 4 brand new tires/rims on ebay for $225 + 69 shipping. They are Dunlop 25" so I'm guessing they are stockers but they are brand new....steel rims but I don't care about that for my work ATV.....

Anyone who might be interested should check it out, there is one more set on black wheels for the same price. I chose the silver just to be different because my Rancher already had black rims now.

 

You said they are "brand new" (stock I presume) and they are 25", so most likely they came off of something other than a Rancher (Ranchers stockers are 24" for the 4X4). If so, rim offset might be different from a Rancher (???).

 

I wonder what the rim sizes are, front and back. Ranchers have 12" rims up front and 11" rims on the back
Many of our customers upgrade to a 25" tire when their first set is shot

They are new no doubt, you can still see the rubber nipples on the treads so they probably got pulled off right away.

They could have come off something like a Foreman or something, but I looked up the off-set on the entire Honda line and they all are pretty much the same. The ITP website lists all the off-sets and lug patterns, and the Ranchers, Rincon, Rubicon and Foreman are the same.

I'm not sure what they came off of but they are Dunlop.... here is the other set of black rims... the silver ones I got are the same.

I think you are right, these are both 12"

The front tires are 25-8-12. The rear tires are 25-10-12

Oh well so I'll get a little more ground clearance. I just hope my 1st gear is still low enough for my needs.

 

I seen those listings on Ebay also. I kind of skipped over them as we have new take off sets at our shop also.

I think you will like the 25's

Yea I'm guessing a lot of people would skip the steel wheels....

To be honest if I rode my Rancher for fun, I would probably already have some Douglass or ITP aluminums. But since it's just for working and trail maintenance I don't mind the steel.

I'm just looking forward to some traction with my new Tusk plow I installed today. I can't imagine I'm going to get very good traction with the bald Dirt Hooks on there now......
