Which one has the factory Aluminum rims; the Rincon or the Rubicon. I may be getting my hands on a new set of Rincon rims tomarrow and I am hoping they are the "good" ones to put on my kid's Rancher!

Both have aluminum wheels but you should be looking for Rubicon wheels thou.

 

[Seeley]

Just curious, why?

 

[Sweet Tooth]

Cause the Rubicon has the proper offset since it is SRA like your Foreman.

 

[Seeley]

Oh, thanks man.

How much lighter are alluminum rims compared to stock? Make any difference?

I've always liked steel which is why I have them on my truck but I'm pretty curious about the weight difference.

 

[JWJR]

aluminum will be alot lighter but they can crack easyer than steel will

 

[Seeley]

What will I have to do to make them work on the Rancher? And, is it even worth the headache?

 

[Sweet Tooth]

You don't need to do anything to make them work on the Rancher. As long as you get aluminum wheels for an SRA quad on a 4/110 bolt pattern the rest is pretty much irrelevant.

 

[Seeley]

Maybe I should be more specific, what will i need to do to get the Rincon rims on the Rancher? A few posts up you mentioned offset.

 

[Sweet Tooth]

I don't think that's possible. The wheels of the rincon are different than the Rancher. If your Rancher happens to be converted to IRS I don't think there is a more liable way to do it.

what about wheel spacers? my dad has a set of rims that came off of a IRS quad and he bought 2" wheel spacers and they do just fine.

 

[Sweet Tooth]

You can, but why spend more money on wheel spacers instead of getting the correct wheel. It's a matter of choice but I prefer to have the correct wheels. I've seen some people doing what you just said but for some reason I don't dig the idea too much.

 

[Unstuckable]

If you really want to keep the wheels then go ahead witht he spacers. Nothing wrong with that. Only thing is that wheels spacer are going to cost the same as 2 new wheels. The front wheels will work fine that you have, but if I were you Id sell the back wheels and use that money to buy the proper wheels.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[Seeley]

That sounds like a plan! Thanks for all the input guys!
