Hey guys.. I have the stock rims on my raptor and the tires are worn down. How do i go about replacing them? I think the rim is 9 x 8.5 AT. What does that mean? and on the tire it says AT 22 x 10-9. What does that mean? I looked on rockymountainatv.com and there are all different numbers.. such as 20x11x9 6ply would thoes fit on my rims? or do the mesurments have to mention 22 x 10-9.

Thanks in advance!

 

yes they will fit as long as their both a 9in rim but going from a 22 to a 20 will drop you 2in in the back, height wise

 

In a 20X11X9 description, the 20 is the tire diameter, the 11 is the tire width, and the 9 is the rim diameter. You can change the tire diameter and the width(to a certain extent) but can not change the rim size unless you go get different rims. Hope this helps.

 

On the rim it says.. 9x8.5 ....what does the 8.5 mean?

 

that it's 9 inches wide and the side to side length is 8.5 inches

 

I still dont get it?

 

9 is the rim diameter. 8.5 is the rim width. The stock Raptor tire size is 20x10x9. Most replacement come in 11" width. ie. 20x11x9 or 22x11x9 etc. I just haven't noticed many replacement tires with a 10" width anyway.

 

If the stock width is 8.5 then how would an aftermarket tire fit with an 11 width? wouldn't it be too big to fit on the rim?

 

Rim width and tread width are two different things. Like I said, the stock tire was 10 inches wide, not 8.5. One more inch in width will be fine. They just belly out a little more. I'm currently running 22x11x9's on my Raptor. (Which I don't recommend unless you need clearance)

 

so yours are higher?
