Does anyone know what size wheels are on the Kodiak? Are they 12x6.5 front and 12x7.5 rear? Also, I am trying to get some ideas for wheels to put on my Kodiak. My main concern is trying to stay as close to stock with the offsets as possible. I love the looks of the c-series wheels but, from what I have read from others here they tend to stick out quite a bit more than stock. Does anyone have some pictures of there Kodiak with c-series wheels, preferably a front and back view. I'm probably going to be staying with the stock tire size, so I am not sure how big of a difference there will be in width from a 25" tire compared to a 26", 27" or bigger tire. Are there any other aluminum wheel options that would get me close to the stock sizes/offsets, maybe Douglas? How durable are the chrome wheels such as the Highlifter Lite or ITP delta's? Do they tend to rust and chip easily? Sorry for all the questions but, just trying to get some ideas.

 

Buckwheat12 You are right on it with Kodiak stock wheel, look on the wheel real good and you will see the size 12x6.5 and 12x7.5. Just put ITP delta's on my 450 with Mud lites 25" like them verry much. Maddog75

 

Maddog75, you wouldn't happen to have any pictures would you? Did you notice any weight difference, were the deltas heavier or lighter than stock? Also, are the offsets pretty close to what the stock rims are? Thanks again.

 

i put the c-series and titan 589 m/t on my 03 450 and it made my front end about 4" wider, do not have rears yet but i was told , to get them to line up again you need to put 1' spacers on the rear. offset is not the same as stock. the tires are heavy but that's why i went with the alum. rim. they are about 5-10 lbs heaver than stock, with rim. you can tell when they are on, but in the mud and snow they do pull WAY better than stock.

i will get a pic next time i put them on "soon"

 

Buckwheat12, The Delta wheels are 4lbs heavier each and the Mud Lites are 1lb heavier each offset is the same. No pictures yet, but Kodiak looks stock, 25'' tires are about 1'' taller then stock 25's

Thanks for the info guys. I may take a closer look at the Deltas, since the offsets are the same as stock. I ride a lot of wooded trails, so I don't really want to make my Kodiak any wider than what it is, I may have trouble fitting through trees etc... Where did you guys get your rims from? I know Highlifter sells the ITP wheels, is there any place that you know of thay may be cheaper?

 

Buckwheat12 Try your local atv dealers most all buy from I.T.P. If you buy out of town you have shipping charge, and if you have problem you pay shipping back. I got mine at a local dealer for $45. each out the door. The Deltas are 12x7 front and rear. Good shoping.
