Hello all,
As per title really, I've bought some used alloys off a 650 Rincon via eBay [I haven't received them yet] and now I'm just wondering if they'll fit my 06 500FM Foreman. I guess I may need some different wheel nuts?
Any advice would be gratefully received,

Thanks.

i had rincon wheels on on my foreman 450 (same setup as the foreman 500) for a few months and thay worked great but ......you are going to need 2 1/2in wheel spacers for the back wheels to fit right (see pics )

Like rich and h22ate said; your gonna need to compensate for the different offset

Thanks guys, am I reading this correctly, I need 2, ( 1 pair ) of wheel spacers each measuring two and a half inches thick? That seems quite a big offset difference, does it put an increase of stress on the bearings, and where do you get them from?

Thanks again for all your replies.

i got them from a member of the forum but he got them from highlifter.com .the reason that it seams like a big wheel spacer is because it is ! the wheels that you want to use are made for a IRS wheeler (independent rear suspention) and your foreman is a SRA (straight rear axle ) i never had a problem with the bearings from them . but the wheels you want will never work unless you use the spacers
this picture is what it looks like with the spacers . if no spacers the wheels will sit 2 1/2in in further hitting the exhaust

you can run them backwards. however, i would highly recommend that you didn't. they're designed for the acorn nut to sit in the bevel and with them turned around it wont work the same. just my opinion.

IMO 2 1/2 years and about 3000kms of solid abuse says otherwise. Something tells me the opposite side of the rim also is shaped for the tapered nut, but like I said, it's been 2 and a half years since I last looked. I have yet to even have to tighten them.
