OK if i did decide to get new Rims for my quad, would it make a difference, and would it be a better alternative to wheel spacers? I was thinking about douglas.160 would that give me more room so my realtors would not hit my stock nerf bars?
thanks

the .160 is the weight of the aluminum.

 

ok but i was told that it would give me a extra inch or two?

 

.160 is the thickness of the aluminum used to make the rim not it's weight. .160 is .035" thicker than.125 so it is stronger.

what you want to do is change the offset of the rim, which means the plate that bolts to the hub is closer (to go wider) or farther away (to go narrower) from the inside edge than your stock rims.

 

ok, thanks a lot man...u seem to really know ur stuff, but im looking at the rocky mtn cataloge and i dont see anything on the offset? is that something i can ask when i order them? thanks a lot buddy for ur help...

I noticed that too. Yea ask about the offset when you order them & let me know what they say. I'm going to order a wider offset when I order my paddles (about 1" a side) for more stability on the dunes. I just haven't decided which paddles I'm going to get yet. I got a couple of diffrent sets borrowed so I'll probably order some in the next couple of weeks.

 

ok buddy im calling tomarrow....i think all i need is like 1 inch too....ill let ya know

 

Hey moose i called today and they told me all dougless wheels come with a 1" offset...giving you a extra 1" per side...hopefully that will be enough...ill prob get them next monday...good luck with ur order
