Highlifter will sell you a set of those wheels with some 27 in Outlaw MST's for 660 dollars. Bike looks great by the way.

Welcome to the forum mtnhiker19

ATV Outfitters has good deals on wheel/tire kits. As an example you could get a set of Delta steel wheels with 27" Swamplites for $448. Douglas Rokstars with 27" Swamplites $548. They have ITP wheels also - but you need to call for pricing.

See this thread for different wheel/tire combo's

If you do get the SS108 in a wheel/tire kit, make sure the front tire size is 9" width. Mine came with 8" and theres not enough protection for the outside of the rim, and they have suffered quite a few scrapes from rocks, sticks, etc.

Also, theres not as much offset IN, and both tires stick out about an inch or two from the fender line. The wider stance is nice and the ride is still great, just makes for more of a mess when you get into water or mud.....LOL!

Heres what my rims look like in a full pic.....I really do like the rims.

wow, that's sharp man...

I think I'm going to go with the ss 212 in black, although I really like the machined look.

So how much did you drop on your set? If you don't mind me asking

oh yeah, I thought mine had 12'' rims? Is it better having the 14's on there? Would you need a spacer kit for 12's

$850 from the dealer, and I installed them myself. That's how I got the $900, figured the dealer would charge about an hour labor to install them for you.

Mine came stock with 12" rims and tires. I like the looks of the taller rims better. The 14" tires give a significantly stiffer ride, as the shortened sidewall doesn't flex as much. As far as spacers, that all depends on the rim's backspacing, not the diameter. For instance, a 12x8" rim with 4" offset IN and 4" offset OUT, will fit the same as a 14x8" rim with 4" offset IN an OUT.

There are other choices than ITP, check them out on the web if you get a chance. For me, I liked the SS108 styling the best. I was about to buy the SS112 when the 108 line came out.

hey sheepdog,

i looked at the ss108 yesterday at my local dealer, and i really like the looks of them. The ss212 look much better online than they do in person...

Their price for a wheel kit was 650. I have to ask what kind of tires they come with...

Yes, the SS212 are very sharp online, I haven't seen any in person yet. That's a great price for a kit. Hope they come with some nice radials, like Terracross, Bighorns, or XTRs.
