I'm considering doing down a wheel size to 10" on my 2002 Wolverine. Douglas .190 with beadlocks. I'll probably go with Titan's 20x8x10 for the front & 20x11x10 on the back.

Will this setup work?

Nope it wont work you will not have room between the rim and
the brakes if you go to a 10" rim

I already have Durablue spacers on all fours of my Wolve. I think they will make it work. I just dont want anymore bended wheels, both of my back Magnum Wheels are bent.
Plus I think the Wolverine would look pretty cool and handle even greater when HighLifter gets off their a$$ & makes it selectable 2wd.

Input needed, please

Well, I ordered one ITP .190 10x5 with inset 2" from Rageperformance today. I guess I'll see for myself if they will fit or not. Of course I know I'll have to run my spacers & if it does fit I'll order the remaining wheels w/beadlocks on the rear & Razr tires.

A Wolverine with Razrs sounds pretty cool to me.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

You know you're going to lose some top speed going to a smaller tire. I had a wolverine all modified up, but it was never fast enough, even with 25 inch tires. You'll have all sorts of low end power, but no top speed. If that isn't a concern, then go for it. You'll have to be careful and make sure you're rear skid still protects everything with those wheel spacers on. I'm guessing that you bent your stock axle (I bent one of those, had it straightened out, and bent it again.) The durablue axle was a good choice. Good luck with those tires. Hope you like them after you buy them. Not trying to flame or anything, but to me, it's kind of like putting low profile tires on a big 4x4 truck.

I understand where your coming from & I appreciate the reply. If I had a Big Bear or Kodiak I wouldnt take up the time or money for this setup. But its a Wolverine, yes its 4wd but a lightweight sport 4wd. I do plan on adding a high compression piston & top end cam to help make up for the lose. I would imagine the low profiles will only shave off 7-10 mph of top speed.
