I got thee for free from work. They turn really easily on the asphalt now. I did not want to tear up the tires that were on there. I had the Polaris wheels that you see now installed with the offset going the other direction but it would not fit threw my shed door :(
But I think t looks kool and was worth the time to red rill the lug pattern. It's a 24" tire. I think it was 24/8/10 or something.

Yes I know the direction is wrong on the one side.

Very tipsy :-) but I don't really go faster than 10mph or 2nd gear. It was way more stable with the wheels the reversed but it don't fit in my shed. I'll have to modify the door on my shed so i can reverse the wheels again.

Apparently very, I just fell and tore my hamstring pretty bad. I might go to the ER. Thee wheels were a bad bad idea. I was driving on snow covered roads and hit a dry patch. I was going 10mph but that's fast enough to Land me sideways on my butt.

Did similar with my 250sx, ~3rd or 4th gear , sliding around in fresh snow and hit a thin spot where the ground wasn't frozen, flipped, bent handle bars, stearing wacked pretty far off now, and it landed up-side-down. I landed with little damage, bruze on my elbow was the main thing. Ploped it back on the wheels, started first kick, and rode it home :).

The rims are pretty rusted up on the reverse side. I would say they were outside for a year or 2. We have to pay to dispose of the rubber. They were used for a local law enforcement and can't be reused on a new ATV. I'm going to reverse them so they stick out the other way.
Here is my torn hamstring :-(

Yeah I knew a guy who fell off a mini bike a broke a leg. Lol
I managed to wield all the plastic back together with a heat gun and a soldering iron. It just needs some polishing now.

Try flipping your hubs around backwards. This might get the offset close enough to work. I've seen guys do this before with pulling atv's because they will run an extremely wide rear tire and wheel combo.

any way you could post pics of your plastic weld??

As soon as I get home I will post a pic. It came out pretty good. I need to polish up the plastic somehow after I sanded the weld down. I used a heat gun to help smooth the line out.
