Just bought some special edition rhino wheels to put on my 700 grizzly. The back fit fine but on the front the calipers are rubbing on the rim. Anyone run into this problem yet? Are rhino calipers thinner than a grizzlys? I have ordered 1" spacers to cure this problem but can't figure out why I had this problem in the first place. You would have thought the back spacing would have been the same.

 

Got the 1" spacers on the front. everything works great. perfect offset. Put 26" xtr on all 4's. These limited edition rhino wheels look great on a grizzly.

 

They do look great, we've done it lots cause many rhino's we sell they get ITP rims so we sell the SE Rhino wheels on a grizzly with 1 or 1 and 1/2 inch wheel spacers, it works and looks great. doesnt ride as nice cuz it throws off the suspension geometry but it does make it more stable.

 

I had similar problems trying to run Rincon wheels on the Rhino. The rears are ok but the front lock up against the calipers. The Rincon woujld swap out with the Griz just fine so I figured they would fit the Rhino also. Not.

I have been tempted to grind a small amount off of the Rhino calipers on the front in order to get them to fit. I don't think it would take much grinding. Has anyone done this?
