Hiper rims

[klutchbuster400]

Looking into some hiper wheels, but this whole offset thing is killing me, How do I go about choosing the right offset?
And whats the best size for mx, 8x8 im guessing.
thanks!

[53yfz450]

yes 8x8 is the best. i would go with a 3+5 rear.

[klutchbuster400]

yes 8x8 is the best. i would go with a 3+5 rear.

Would a 3+5 offset be too wide on the rear with a +4 axle?

[53yfz450]

well i was looking and thats the only one they make for a 8x8 so........

Oh yeah, Should I keep the stock specs for the front rims?

In case you didnt know, hiper came out with single beadlock for the back. (I think)  Probably not for sale yet though, They say there made especially for mx, since there lighter

the 9 inch rear wheel with 18 inch tires is starting to see some popularity also. I am fairly certain it is becasue of the stiffer sidewall (think low profile tires)
If you have a plus 4 axle i would stick with a stock offset (3+5) If your an mxer with a shorter axle the 3+6 offset will get you an extra 2 inches in the back. up front a lot of people like the 4+1 offset because it puts the ball joint right on the midline of the tire which help to reduce feedback. If you go this offset I thnk you would run 2.5 or 3 inch a-arms (im an xc guy so dont quote me on that)

jeepnrocks  450hq rulz  awesome website with all ur knowledge

[klutchbuster400]

I have a +4 axle, and +2 a-arms, so I guess 3+2 up front and a 3+5 rear?
would that make me go over the 50 " regulation?
Also what size should I go with the front?

[53yfz450]

it would put u at 50

on a z400? it's the same as a yfz? I thought you could go wider with the Z.

[53yfz450]

his a arms are prob. 2.5 not +2. still should get the 3+2.

[klutchbuster400]

Yeah, im not sure if they are +2 or 2.5, I called lsr and they told me to measure the tie rod itsself, if it was 12 1/2 then it was their +2 a-arms. So I just went by what they said.

[klutchbuster400]

Ok, now this is becoming more a pain in the butt lol
Called lsr earlier and they told me if the tie rod its self was 12 1/2 inches, then i have +2's, If the tie rods are 13 1/2 then i have +3's. I measured it with a straight edge, and couldnt fit it all the way in but it looked like it went to 12 1/2. My dad just measured it with a tape measurer and it came out to 14 1/2 exact. what the heck is going on?
Also measured the quad from outside of the front tire to the other and got 48.5, ANyone know stock lenght?

[klutchbuster400]

ok, problem solved, they gave me the wrong measurements yesterdya, I have +3's up front and a +4 rear axle. So i guess im good lol.

[#26YFZ]

is that 48.5 measurement from the outside of the front tires? if so, correct me if im wrong jake but couldnt he still go 3+2?

[53yfz450]

not quite, he may have the front end pulled up. but with him sitting on it it will go to 50 inches.

[klutchbuster400]

Stock width is 45.9, + 3's put me at about 49 inches wouldnt it? should I still go with the 4+1

[#13_LT-R450]

yea if your 49 inch than go with the 4+1 offset.

the 3+2 is like .5 inches wider each side.

I think

[klutchbuster400]

Looks like i'll have to get new tires too, Think I'll go with some kenda klaws.
