I have a Kasea Hawk II 250....the front tire size is 19/7/8 i just got a pair of kendas that are a bit larger 22/11/8. With the stock tirs now it's pretty tight by the stock front wheels. How can I make this setup work? Wheel spacers? Flip the rims? Don't really wanto to get new rims but if that's the safest way I'll do it. Also what is the lug pattern on the stock wheel 4x110??? Thanks again for all your help ....Alex |

wheel spacers or new wheels are the best way to go. |

Those are quite wide front tires. I'm not even sure they will mount well on such a narrow rim. You may have to get some 8x8 rims with 3+5 or 2+6 offset to clear the front. |

Thanks for the replies guys...very good advice. I'll start by buying spacers off ebay, then if the tires are to wide to seat on the rim i'll get wider rims. Does anyone know what size the lug spacing is???? ...i'm pretty sure these are standard front rims for the china buggies that fit 19x7x8 tires. I'm almost sure they are 4x110 but just would like confirmation....thanks again Alex |

Measure the centers of your opposite holes or studs. 110mm is just over 4-5/16" |

We bought something similar to these for use on ACBlind's rear wheels.. I was suspect when we got them, but they've turned out to be a very good solution. My first choice would be a full-ring spacer, but if money and availability are issues I wouldn't hesitiate to go with these again. Keep in mind, we use his on the rear wheels only. The fronts would experience forces from differing angles. This may be a factor.

I don't know how much the standoffs cost, but nice aluminum spacers in 4/115 and 4/110 are available from Glade for $70. I run the 4/115 spacer on the front of my Joyner 650.

Well just fitted the spacers and 22x11x8 kendas on the front stock rims .......pic's to follow....haven't run it out yet to check for bump steer and ride change but hoping it'll be a good improvement. Overall ground clearance increased about 3".....pretty good |
