Go to Home - Discount Tire Direct and search for wheels for the Honda foreman. Some of the wheels I linked will come up in both 12x7 and 12x8 sizes. Or go into the application chart on each of the wheels I linked. All of them are available in a 4/110 2+6 or 5+3 for sra Hondas. The vision wheels are sold by several distributors in an 8" width for the foreman. I agree with both of you that this would probably make a big difference running all wide mud tires.

Well isnt that cool, should have paid more attention when buying my rims, I think an 8" wide rim would be the cats asss, thanks for setting me straight a-tack and h22ate. Never knew they made them.

The only reason I'm throwing this out there is that I spent 3 years selling wheels/tires for auto, atv, tractor use before I decided to go back to nursing school. So I know that they are out there, as I have personally sold them to ATV owners.

It's cool man. No hard feelings.

Depends on what the offset is I would imagine.

I think most of them are still the same 5" front 2" rear backspacing. The gain is 1" frontspace, so they stick out a little farther. The only place I could imagine this creating a problem, if any, is at full lock with oversized tires, they may rub the front of the floorboards. I doubt it would cause any issues though.

You seem to be on to something. I am only able to find rear 8" wheels. Seems most companies make a matching 8" rear and 7" front. Check out this application guide from Moose Wheels. It lists them for Honda's as a 12x7 4+3 front and a 12x8 2+6 rear. Still that 1" shallower backspacing 1" larger frontspacing on the front wheels. I wonder why we cant seem to find any front 8" wide wheels?

my previous statement was from my cell phone between classes and was pure speculation on backspacing..lol
