I want to replace my stock tires & wheels, how do I know what size wheel/rim will fit? I want to add some stablilty for sharp turns as well as better mud traction. What brand should I get? Thanks!

 

Wheels...must be a 4x110 bolt pattern, like on Hondas and Yamahas. I have ITP C-Series Type 6 and I love them

Tires...From what people have said on here, it looks like there are very few tires that won't fit on the Brute. Search the forums. People have put 29s on them. I have 25" ATRS.

Thanks for the info. Who makes the ATR's? I want to find something on ebay I can afford. ow did the change in Tire/Wheel affect the bike?
Thanks!

 

ITP makes ATRs (All Terrain Radials). They are great for trail riding and rocky areas, but defintely not for deep mudding. I gained 5" of width with this tire/rim combo and the Brute is now as stable or better than any other quad out there.

....what off-set C-series rims did ya get to give ya 5" more width ?
.... I take it this was just in the rear....how much more width did ya end up with on the front ?

 

The rims are a set of fronts all around. Most IRS bikes use the same offset for all 4 tires. I gained 5" in the back and 3" in the front using the same offset rims on all 4 corners.

Do ya have the ITP part #...or even what the off-set numbers are ?
Why I ask is i'm also getting a set of C-series/holeshot combo, but 5" will be a bit too much for me....for 2 reasons....one, i'm thinking it'll throw mud/water too much with the tires hanging out that far, and secondly, 5" wider will put the bike over 48" total width and that means i'll hafta build another trailer to haul the bike ( which will happen, but really don't have the time to right now)

The part number that I have on the invoice is RQ12P110. I can't measure the offset right now beacuse I'm in the middle of moving and the BF is buried in the garage under boxes. From eyeballin' it, I would say that the rims are about 1.5" offset compared to the stocks.

As for the width, I had the same problem. I have a 3 ATV side loading trailer. The width of the loading spaces on the side is 48" I have to drive the Brute up onto the ramps until the back tires touch the trailer and then wiggle it in by hand. It's a pain but it works.
