Wildcat Trail/Sport Steel wheel offset

cr724 · Jul 30, 2015

So I’ve been researching what wheel/tire combo I want to get. It’s kind of overwhelming when you first start to look at wheels. 12 or 14 inch, black, polished, machined, beadlock and not to mention offsets??

I don't want to widen my Sport any more than I have to, so I am looking for wheels with the same or close to factory width and offset.

I haven’t seen the stock steel wheel offset posted here, so I measured the wheels on my Sport. I didn’t take the wheels off so the measurements won’t be exact but close. When I get the chance, I’ll take the wheels off and update the measurements.

Update 8/3/2015
I took the wheels off today and got the exact measurements. They didn't exactly use round numbers.

Bolt pattern = 4/115

12x6 Front wheel = 4.5 + 1.5

12x7.5 Rear wheel = 5.75+1.75

I didn't know the front and rear had different offsets.

My ITP rims are offset 5+2 and with the Blackwaters in 28"x12" it steers fine -

hope this helps -

Steveahreeno do u have power steering? I was thinking about 28" evos on my sport 10" wide at all four corners, but i dont have eps and was wooried about steering effort.
Also how do they do side hilling?

Steve doesnt have a hill in his garage so he wouldnt know haha. Just busting your balls Steve. I have 27x10 on all 4 corners before the power steering and i didnt find steering effort any heavier than it was with stock. Now that i have PS i wouldnt know because i drive with one finger.

They are fine on a side hill as long as it's not too steep - Power steering was a option that Drock finally talked me into and it's been one of the best modifications to my machine yet - I now bring a rubber tire stop with me and plop it in my travel bag. when I pull over on any type of incline it goes under one of the tires - I always forget it so there's a speed bump every time I try to take off - heh

I'm looking at Itp ss212, so by my calculations I would gain 1" total width on the front and 1/2" total width on the rear. Itp's would be 5+2.

I can can get them for $85 a rim new.

I put the big cat 14" rims on my sport there is only a slight difference in width. I really like them with the 30-10-14 Bighorns.
