Well my first stop was the Iron Pony with high hopes in mind, and a front and rear tire in the car. I told the man I needed to get some rims and tires ordered but I didnt know the size for sure, but I brought them with me. I thought I was sitting pritty. I would just line my rims up with some high end rim. Then I heard 'we dont stock rims in house and neither does anybody in Columbus. The Quad market is so diverse you would spend millions just trying to keep a set of each type. ' I realized for the first time even though I took my wheels off, I was going to have no other rims available to compair them too for size. I asked if anybody in the store could identify my bolt pattern so we could try and figure something out. Nobody in the store could identify a bolt pattern on my tire or any other tire in the world. Hearing 'We don't have any kind of a machiene to do that, and we don't know how to eather' sunk my last pony of a chance there!

Next stop was Classic Honda ATV place. I walked in and explained my situaction and the manager snapped his fingers and had one of his boys buisy measureing my tires in 30 sec. He came back with 110 for the front wich we knew, but then said it looks like a 135 to him but he felt like it really was a 137. They started looking in the rim manuals and came to the conclusion ther were no 135's. Then I remembered Kellys post about he 'thought it was an odd ball 137 or something'. I told them I was willing to risk the 137 rear bolt pattern.

It was a long drawn out process of give and take getting something close to my ideal sizes. I am afraid I might have got too far off to make them work?

Front I wanted: 21x10x10 idealy with a 10x7 rim size
Front on order: 22x11x10 with a 10x8 rim size

Rear I wanted: 23x10x10 idealy with a 10x8 rim size.
Rear on order: 22x8x10 with a 10x8 rim size.

I am o.k. with going withought the front mud flaps until the dude accrost the street makes me some bigger ones so that is no big deal to me.
I am consirned if it will work o.k.

TR ACC C-SER 10X8 3+5 4/110 $72.95 X 2 = $145.90 part no 371495
TR ACC C-SER 10X8 3+5 4/137 $72.95 X 2 = $145.90 part no 371497
TR ACC MUDLITE 22X11X10 6PR $64.44 X 2 = $128.88 part no 371667
TR ACC MUDLITE 22X8X10 6PR $51.87 X 2 = $103.74 part no 371666
TR TIR LUG NUT BOX (16) 10M $23.89 = $95.56 part no 371261
TR ACC CENTER CAP STL (4) 4 $23.79 = $95.16 part no 370720

Tax Title out the door = $763.41

How bad did I mess up? :)

Cancel your order immediately!

everything is way off.

you want 10x5 front rims in a 110 bolt pattern
& ?(whatever width and dia. you want) x 137 rear bolt pattern

just (carefully) re-read my post on wheels

you cannot get away with running such large tires in front and the rear is not a 115 or 117

measure your rear bolt pattern from furthest bolt to furthest, (diagonally) this should be a little larger than 5.375" center to center. or just buy a metric ruler!

kell

also, I wouldn't run mudlites on a buggy, you need it to slide, useless on front also and very heavy compared to sport tire like holeshots.

I just edited my post. I was freaking out. I did order a 110 bolt pattern on the front and a 137 bolt pattern on the rear. Are my tires still too big?

Mudlites are for a 4wd doing mud bog runs, useless for everything else, especially a 2wd buggy that is going to be slid around corners on hard dirt etc.

If you just have to get new tires, get something like holeshots, you need the flat profile. otherwise stick with your stock tires like I have. The only reason for new rears would be to raise top speed a little by going to a true 22" tire.

you could buy a smaller sprocket much cheaper! Larger front wheels are a good investment because they allow better ground clearance and roll over obstacles easier and look way more manly than the little girly go-kart front tires!

Man guys, I wish somebody would have screamed more when I posted this:

So if I know I want the new front tires to be 21" total and the 10" wide.

I need a Front tire size of 21x10x10 (not 8 for width or dia.)
with a front rim size of 10x6 (not sure if I need a 5 or 6 or 7 there?)
___________________________________________________________

If I know I want my new back to be 23" total with the standard 10" wide -

I need a Rear tire size of 23x10x10
with a rear rim size of 10x8 right?
____________________________________________________________

1) Are we that the ITP C Series will fit my rear o.k. ?

2) Are we the XL 11/8” lug, or the AT 3/4” lug?

Does anybody have another favorite tire than the Dirt Light?

So what is useable at this point? help me cutt my loss. I supose the Rear on order: 22x8x10 with a 10x8 rim size is still fine with a Mud Light in a bolt pattern of 137. Was it more important to have loose traction for sliding on the front or the back? I hope the front so if my back tires grab extra well it wont hurt me too bad. Or should I eat 20% on the mud lights too? That would mean I am down to 2 rear rims worth keeping, if 22x8x10 is o.k. for a rim on the back? kammak, you dont even think my back are even going to bolt on? Why is that. That would mean my entire order is bad.

If I return the front rims and tires I could get hole shot tread for up front and a different rims I guess?

Do we even know yet what a front tire and rim size should be? I guess the 110 is right, and rim size of 10x5 and a tire size of 21x??x??.

looks like 20% of about $240 is gone in this lesson at least!!
If it's the entire order thats bad I just lost $152.60.
