How to pick wheel offset and tire size for your UTV

[@hondas450rrocks]

Just a fyi, if your tires measure 30” and you go w/ 32” you only gain 1” of vehicle height. 1” on the bottom side of rim and 1” on top side of rim. If your tires are true to size.

Had not thought of it in that way 👍

[@asilaydying1984]

Correct , every 1 inch larger tires you gain 1/2 inch ride height

Thank you for this video as usual Drakes clear concise and to the point . I was always confused by the rim sizes . Thanks again buddy

[@americandream_89]

No problem buddy. You’re not the only one it’s confused. I see someone on the forums daily asking about help on rim and tire size. It’s confusing and I was there also at one point. Glad to be able to help

So what are you thoughts on a 8.5" wide wheel w/ 38mm offset? How would that compare to stock on these Xpeditions?

[@americandream_89]

I think the best offset is a 4+3 on the xpedtion. To answer your question on the 38mm and 8.5” wide wheel I think it would be fine if you installed a tire that didn’t rub. Factory rims are about 6” wide and a 5+1 offset. So the rim you speak of is 2” wider spreading your tire across it will narrow it slightly.

[@jaywalling6543]

@@americandream_89 I thought the stock wheels were 7" wide? I cold be wrong. Ok thanks for the info. I ordered my setup and we'll see if it rubs. if my math is correct, the wheel will be .25" wider on the inside and 1.25" wider on the outside. I'm street legal and must have a "on highway" use DOT tire here so my wheel is 20"x8.5 w/ 38mm offset. Tires are Nitto Ridge Grapplers 265-60/20 and are 32.5" high. They are a square tires so may rub lock-to-lock. I notied the 32" tires you switched to are also square - so do yours rub? Thx again!

@@jaywalling6543 you are correct not sure what I was thinking about but didn’t process everything correctly in my head 🤪 factory run is 6+1 from everything I’ve seen making it 7”. But 32 inch tires do not rub it all. I’ve seen some with 33s that do not rub or at least that’s what they say. I’ve seen others with 33s in the woods. If you do have trouble you can always install forward arms

[@jaywalling6543]

@@americandream_89 Nice. Yeah, I've seen some using 33's w/ no problem but I think it's a round tire which allows a lot more room. The square ones like I'm getting may rub but we'll just have to see. Hoping not since your's dont. Thanks again and have a good one!

Happy Veterans Day buddy to you and your family. Thanks for the wave Wells. Your a great helper for your dad. Great video. I was wondering if the expedition gets about 200 miles a tank full like Polaris claims? What’s your thoughts on the new Segway super villain sxs? Was wondering if you could tell me what beta do you run on your phone and watch, bc I’m needing to upgrade very soon. Thanks and have a blessed day!

[@americandream_89]

It’s been a great day with family buddy. Hope yours as well. Wells isn’t camera shy and is eager to help. I really don’t think it will get 200 miles at least not in my driving experience. Maybe out cruising at 30-40mph flats. I love the thought of the new villain power! I’m a Hugh fan of hybrid. Its suspension looks great also. My concern was its weight being over 3000lbs. It’s got the hp to handle it but jumping it or slow hill climbs in the east you would feel gravity against you. I also hate its directly owned by China! They have parts in all machines. But a full machine by them I initially wouldn’t think quality as my first thought. I run Apple beta straight from their site. You can enable it from your settings. It lets you use features that haven’t come out yet. Although every now and you will have a hiccup usually it’s worth it. Have a blessed night buddy

[@ethanh9535]

@@americandream_89 I just had a moment to lookup the Segway and there top of the line is under $20k which is interesting. I agree with you about being fully made in China. Hope you and the family are doing well. Have a blessed day buddy.

[@americandream_89]

@@ethanh9535 I think for what they offer especially from an infotainment system. They are priced accordingly. And I’ve seen them perform in the woods very well. I’ll be excited to see content come out on this. Someday I’ll have race UTV’s on the channel I’m sure Wells will be enticed by them

[@americandream_89]

Hope your day is great also!

@@americandream_89 Dirt Trax on here has videos out on them. Seems really impressive for what you get. Wells would be begging you to do that. Let him know that he has a fan which is me. 😎. Idk if Segway has any dealerships in the US or not? I’d like to see one in person and maybe test one out?

[@CharlieReiter-p7o]

Bought a set of these for my Rmax two of them were badly out of balance they are cheap for a reason. my dealer took them back. I ended up with a set of Hankook MT2 light truck tire they are awesome

[@americandream_89]

Thanks for the info. I plan to go to rockzillas at some point.
