rims

[wvMOUNTAINMAN]

I just ordered new rims and I hear that on IRS's you should use rims with front wheel spacing, is this true???Whats the best spacing?? I love my brute but I've noticed that it is a little top heavy so I want to widen it.

Honestly, I have never heard that. I have 12" ss112 wheels, and no spacers. They seem to be just fine. If anyone has heard this, I am curious to see what a difference spacers will make.

I have 05 brute 750 and run ss108s with 27-11-12 zillas in rear. The extra inch wide helped stability alot. Just my 2 cents worth.

is anyone running 2+5 spacing on the rear?

[wvMOUNTAINMAN]

a front wheel spacing is 5+2, i've not seen many people run a 2+5 (back wheel for S.R.A.) 06bf_vtwin is running 5+2 on the front and a 2+5 on the rear, his bike handles like a sport bike but is extremely wide. I'm running 5+2 wheel spacing like most.

I need to put new tires on the Foreman the stock wheels are beat up. So I am taking my stock Brute 750 tires and wheels put them on the Honda. The fronts are the same 4/110 5+2 the rears are 4/100 2+5 like on a SRA Brute the rear I have is 5+2 so if I put them on the back of the Honda the wheel will be out wider then stock? If that will not work can I turn the tire around and flip the wheel and it would be a 2+5? Or should I just buy some wheels for it.

If you put a 4/110 5+2 rear on your foreman it will not be wider than stock, it'll be smaller. You need a 4/110 2+5 wheel on the rear of your foreman. Like you said the fronts are all the same 4/110 5+2. Yea you can flip the wheels, i've done that on my honda before.

ya thats wright the 5 would be to the inside. So it would be smaller. I will try to flip wheels it will save me some cash!!
Thanks
