turbowrenchhead Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 I have a nice pair of rear stock rims. I would like to use them but I want to have the rim to rim width come out at 48" wide to match the front width. In my state you can't be wider then 48" which is bullsh*t because they are letting ORV's on the trails and those things hog up the trail. I hope to never met one on a tight corner when I'm drifting.

turbowrenchhead Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 I'm looking for overall axle length in inches. Quote
Nightmare Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 I'm not sure you can get that wide with stock rims Quote
Finch Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 on my trail set up i has 3/6 offset rims and put me right at 48. i dont know what offset stock are tho figure that out and you should be fine doing the matt and get a extended axle Quote
turbowrenchhead Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Posted January 16, 2013 I took some measurements. The stock axle is 37" from end to end. 34" from outside hub to hub mounting surfaces. The stock rims have a 5 1/2 outside offset from mounting surface to outside of rim bead. That puts me at 45" width. I will need a 40" axle with stock rims or I get +6/-3 offset rims with 1" oversize width tire (thinking 22x10x9 on a 9x9 stock rim). That would put me at 48". I would rather get the longer axle. I like the durability of the stock rims and they are cheaper. Quote
Thumper7999 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 In my state you can't be wider then 48" which is bullsh*t because they are letting ORV's on the trails and those things hog up the trail. You scared me. I'm from Wisconsin and I just picked up some new tires and rims that bring my width to 50". I found this post while looking to see what (if anything) I'm gonna break having the tires hang that far off the axle. I did a little digging, and they changed it from 48" to 50" a while back. http://dnr.wi.gov/news/weekly/Article_Lookup.asp?id=1284 On a side note, I haven't found a good solution to the license plate requirement, just a functional solution. Have you found a good place to mount it? Quote
turbowrenchhead Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Posted January 17, 2013 I picked up a kit at the local dealer for $13, works fine. Quote
turbowrenchhead Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Posted January 17, 2013 I still need to be 48 wide due to hauling issues. Quote
