Excellent description to scrub and offset Justin. I've really been enjoying your live feeds, they've been very informative. Wished you had a little more love for the YXZ, I got two that need.... well you know, basically everything. Keep up the live feeds and good luck this season, if/when things get normal again. #nochase

[@marka1712]

It amazes me how many ppl don’t know this stuff already. Also surprised how many ppl say don’t alter it from factory lol. There are always trade offs to modifications, further offset wheels will do exactly what you’re saying but it’s usually not very noticeable if at all driving a sxs and the extra offset can help the larger tires clear as well as making them a little more stable when off camber. Also tons of krx guys running 4/3 offsets with no negative steering effects and no noticeable premature parts wear so far.

[@ridered7394]

Love seeing the faro arm in the background, not messing around.. thanks for all the info you guys are putting out there

[@heily-3806]

Love the videos talk about a wealth of knowledge one thing you didnt talk about was wheel width, I’m curious to what your thoughts are on that? Most wheels seem to be 7 inch wide but there are a few that are 6

Hey... I see the sport! Kinda stands out all bright and yellow. ha ha. I am so sorry about the mud in the cab. Last ride it was poring down rain. I took it to the drive in cleaner, but didn't spray off the inside.

Hi guys. I am a very satisfied customer of your gold therapy service on my 2020 Honda Talon 1000x4 with Fox Live Valve. I like the extra hight I get from running 32 in tires. Unfortunately, after watching this video, I now know why the steering gets ripped out of my hands sometimes. Is there a 32 inch tire and rim combination for the Talon that will achieve a 5/1 scrub or a tire and rim offset that reduces the scrub with 32 in tires?

I’m seeing more and more guys running 35s on the newer Polaris Pro R.. seems like the clutching can handle it, but do you feel this is too large of a tire with a 5+2 offset?

[@ShockTherapyllc]

35s on a 5/2 is a great combo on a pro R. All the parts are strong enough and clutching is fine. I have 4500 miles on my pro R. Almost all of it fast pre running in Baja and with 35s.

Would it be detrimental to us 2"wheel spacers and 4/3 off set wheel on xp pro in the dunes. thank so very much I have learned a great deal thanks again.

That would be horrible! Wheel spacers are the same thing as bad offset. So not only do you have a 4/3 that is bad but you would also make it 2" worse with the wheel spacer. Please don't do that.

I just picked up a 2017 rzr xp4 and changing to your spring kit for the bolt on parts it has,have the walker shocks. What would be the best size tire wheel offset combo for mostly dirt roads, some pavement and rocky trails. willing to put some money towards supporting up to 32 inch if needed.i was thinking the toyo sxs open country or tensor. thank you very much for your videos, Justin

[@ShockTherapyllc]

For structural reasons a 30” is easiest on parts and power. But the 32 is best for ride quality. Personally I upgrade the parts and run a 32 with a 4/1, 5/1 or 5/2 offset.

[@justingalvan4050]

Looks like I just wasted money getting method 406 beadlocks with 4+4. Looks badass but I guess that’s not a good offset. Maybe switch those over to paddles and get the new 411 for the dirt

[@ShockTherapyllc]

Justin Galvan we definitely don’t recommend that offset

[@tboneteen18]

I have a 2018 x3 max base model 120hp with stock 28" tires. can I run 32" tires with a 4/1 or 5/2 offset rim? and if so will I need to do clutching?

Hey guys thanks for the video, I have a 21 can am RR DS and I’m trying to run 32’s ITP terra hooks. Due to my 64” machine I’m struggling to fit past the rear trailing arms. Will 4/3 really be that bad on my max?

[@ShockTherapyllc]

They are really bad in the front. The rear does not matter. Maybe run 5/2 and a 1" spacer in the rear. I hate spacers but the geometry does not matter in the back.

[@generaldreamsoutdoors43]

I love your video's. What is your thought on wheels for the General XP 4 with 32" tires? Stay with the 6+1? Or since the tire is 2" big than stock would a 5+2 be the better choice?

5/2 is a good one for the general

[@jimihendrix1218]

Question about the +0mm and +10 mm offsets offered by some wheel and tire dealers, what do these equate to, 6+1, 5+1, 4+1, 5+2, etc,. Thanks in advance.

[@ShockTherapyllc]

A 0 mm offset wheel is a centered wheel. The wheel center has equal widths on the outside of it as it does inside. 4/4, 5/5. Really bad. You need a positive offset wheel. This means more wheel is inside (towards the UTV) than outside (away from the UTV) of the wheel center. 4/1, 5/1, 6/1. The first number is inches inside the wheel, second number is inches outside the center. Hope that helps.

I couldn’t watch live. I may have missed it, but what is the recommendation for offset for a RZR 900s? I think you said 12-16psi for play. Would that be ok for light rock crawling also. I don’t get to crazy. I generally ride wood trails with some rocky areas.

[@maryannwolford514]

I have a 2021 rzr pro xp we are in Florida and ride dirt n mud trails. Wanting to move up to 32's they have 16 n 18 inch wheel option. What do you recommend for the wheel size n offset for my rzr pro xp. We want it to handle close to stock.

[@ShockTherapyllc]

16" would be best to save the wheel from damage. 18" might look cool tho. LOL. With a 32 I would run a 6/1, 5/1, 4/1 or at the most a 5/2. 5/3, 4/3 or 4/4 are all really bad. Hope that helps.

[@DavidRamirez-kt3ou]

Would a 38mm offset on a 6 in KMC toro forged wheel be ok on my 2022 Pro R ultimate with 33 DS tensors?

[@ShockTherapyllc]

Absolutely

[@jakebarnier5188]

I understand wheel offset but why do you prefer such a narrow (5 or 6 inch wide) wheel?

[@ShockTherapyllc]

two reasons. One, you can't fit more than 5- 6 inches of wheel inside the hub and 1 to 2" is the max outside the hub if you want the scrub radius correct. Second, if you can pinch the tire in on the wheel, like our race car uses a Method 401R which is a 5" wide wheel, you will crown the tread a bit and gain some bulge in the sidewall. This drives best and the sidewall protects the wheel in off road racing from the rocks a lot better than a straight and vertical style sidewall.

[@rayt5100]

Thinking about buying a set of 4/3s with 29 inch terabytes on them for my rzr900s 2017 I think you said 4/3s are doable on 900. Your thoughts please

I do know this video is about a year old but my question is I have a 2022 Maverick Trail 1000R DPS. What if I go to 27 x 9 x 12 with a 5 x 2 offset. +2 inch spacers all the way around. Or go without the spacers.

[@shocktherapy4820]

2” spacer is a no go. 5/2 is good to go

[@TheParkingLotGarage]

What do you think about the Method 401-r low offset? It’s got a 0mm offset but also a super skinny wheel (5”). So it ends up being a 2.5/2.5 offset. Will that be as bad, or better, or worse than a 4/3 offset?

[@ShockTherapyllc]

Center offset is really bad. 4/3 is similar but not as bad. 401R is bad ass.

[@jrlym]

Why are steel wheels not more prominent for UTV's? Does aluminum fail or have issues that wouldn't be an issue with steel?

[@70GTODAN]

Does the type of suspension, design, or suspension geometry make a difference when choosing wheel size/offset? I have a 2019 Wildcat XX with unequal length front control arms and, as you know, the rack is placed in front instead of behind. What offset would be best if running 32” tires and 15” wheels with stock rack? (Going to billet rack as soon as stock rack goes out) GREAT informative and entertaining videos and still love the “bloopers”!! Ha I’m an old mechanic/fabricator and I’m still learning things!

[@ShockTherapyllc]

yes, geometry dictates all of this. Your XX geometry requires a 4/1 or 5/2 offset to work correctly with 32" tires. We have one as well and we run a 4/1 Method 401R. Glad we could help.

[@70GTODAN]

Shock Therapy llc Thank you!! You guys ROCK!!! Thanks for the quick reply too! Please keep up the great vids!

[@Travcity1]

Awesome information. I will definitely be getting some work done with you guys. Couple quick questions, if I go with the same offset and tire size all the way around do you recommend a 1” spacer in the back of a RZR turbo? Also I can only find the Method 401R that say 5-0 offset. I think that is the 4-1 you were showing. Ok to stick with a 30” or do you recommend going to the 32s. I do have a clutch kit. Thanks

[@shocktherapy4820]

Trav City you don’t need a spacer in the back. There are no negative affects to running same wheel and tire all the way around. I would run a 32. The 30 is nice but the added ground clearance is a big help with the 32.

[@albertzuniga9644]

As far as a 14” or 15” wheel is there any advantages or disadvantages for a sxs or is it preference.

[@ShockTherapyllc]

15s all the way. Gets clearance to the caliper so rocks don't get caught in there and blow up the wheel. Also, 14's are just too much sidewall movement when you get into a 30 or 32" tire.

[@albertzuniga9644]

[@cwarner218]

Question of wheel/tire weight and what it does with shock/spring tuning. I've got a '16 2 seat XP1K with your dual rate spring kit with factory shock valving. Everything worked well for my riding style. I recently switched from the factory wheels and tires and went with Method 409's with GBC Terramasters with a total weight of 51.6lbs. After doing so, it seems like the front suspension is bottoming more, if I adjust the clicker until it stops the ride is very harsh, now this is only when I'm pushing the car hard. I'm wondering if I add a little more front spring preload and reduce the clicker will this help ?

[@shocktherapy4820]

c warner so wheel and tire won’t affect compression. Only rebound. If it bottoms more them more than likely the inside of the shock has changes. Internal seal or valving failure. This is common with stock internals. Just do the RIS or shock mods and everything we ride amazing with that wheel and tire combo

[@JMSynthetics]

Why dont wheel manufactures make their wheels in the same offsets for the cars they support? for example I was told a factory turbo s wheel is 6+1 but the closest you can find is typically a 5+2. Is it just to reduce SKUs?

[@ShockTherapyllc]

amazing question! We have posed this same one to them. Their answer is that people, customers, the market does not like the flat outer face look. Everyone likes the deep dish look. So they fight the fact that the market wants dish but facts support correct. Spread the word. Hopefully it changes.
