    Rim/tire combo? 250R

    Tired of trying to search. I am looking for 10" rims. I know the bolt pattern is 4x110. I would like to go with Douglas as that is what we have coming for the front. So 10x? What offset? I like those fast trac or trek whatever they are called tires. So what size for them?

    Go with a 10x8 rim with 3+5 offset. Then u can go with a 20x10x10 or a 20x11x10 tire.

    10x8 or 10x9 - a 10x10 will stick out to much

    8" wide / 9" wide / 10" wide that will give you a better idea Cyril =)

    Brockey, How wide do you want to run the R. If you want a wider rear end without an extended axle or spacers get a set of Polaris Outlaw IRS rims. They are 9" dia rims 8" wide and when run backwards have a killer offset 4-110 bolt pattern as well

    I got mine used, You won't find a used set in great looking shape though. They use the deep offset to get a manageable angle to the CV joints (as far apart as possible). Unfortunately all the little rocks and stuff that get thrown in the bell of the wheel when sliding act like a rock tumbler with the A arms and do a number on the finish of the wheel.

    Ah, I can see your point. I will keep that in mind. 9 chances out of 10 I will end up ordering a new set. Just looking thru our local classifieds now for rims. Just remembered that I have a set of 84R wheels I can stick on there to make it a roller. Thxs again

    Just a heads up, the 18's trekkers are getting harder to find. BUT are SO worth it. I stocked up and have another set in hiding, best trike tire IMO
