2009 Rubicon 500 Spacers???? - Honda Foreman Forums : Rubicon, Rincon, Rancher and Recon Forum

trapn · 09-15-2011, 11:07 AM

Hi,
Im new to the forum and have rookie question or three that i hope you can help me out on!!!

I replaced my stock tires with Mud Lites 27X10x12. Long story short my tire is rubbing on my muffler!!

Would i need a 1" spacer or should i go bigger? Without being in front of my quad would my bolt patter be 4X110? Also any hints on a good online place to purchase?

Thanks for all the help!! I appreciate it!!

welcome to the forum
did you order aftermarket wheels? if so you ordered the wrong offset wheel and yes you will need spacers . high lifter is a good place or here ATV and UTV Accessories : ATV Wheels and Tires : Super ATV LLC

Thanks rich450es for the quick response,

The mub lites were put on my factory rims!! I will check into the supplied website you give me and see what they have to say!!

as long as they are the rear offset wheels, it shouldn't be rubbing. but you should be good with 1" spacers. up to you whether you want to go more than an 1"

rich450es · 09-15-2011, 12:09 PM

if thay are on stock wheels and thay rub .........you have the wheels on wrong...(rotate the fronts to the rear and the rears on the front ) look at this picture and look at the offset of the wheels

yeah, 27x10x12 shouldn't rub on the back. they must have the wheels backwards or something.

With me alone on the quad (170 lbs) the tire never rubbed, but when i put a load on the back racks (+/- 90 lbs) the tire started to rub. I think a 1" spacer will do the trick to but just wanted your guys opinion!! I believe this would be my cheapest and best option without going back to factory tires?
Thanks eh!!!

My quad is a 30 min drive from my residence, but i will confirm the wheels are not on backwards!!! My first guess would be no, but i have been wrong before!! I let you guys know asap!!
Thanks

With a quick phone call i realized i screwed everybody up!! My back tires are 27X12X12 not the origianlly posted 27X10X12!! My bad
