tyler73 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Posted March 11, 2015 I am about to buy some front itp sand stars tires and some Douglas blue label wheels The tires will be 21x7-10 but I need help picking the rim I have two choices 10x5 3.0+2.0 or 10x6 2.0+4.0 Which one should I get Quote
special06shee Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 I personally would not get any wider offset then stock witch is 3x2. The bigger the offset the more bump steer will/can occur. Quote
tyler73 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Posted March 12, 2015 Not worried bout bumb steer doesn't that happen at fast speeds I don't go fast I never really take it past 3rd gear anyways Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted March 12, 2015 Report Posted March 12, 2015 The 6" wheel will make the bike a little wider and the tire a little shorter and fatter, where the 5" wheel will keep the tire a bit taller and your track width closer to stock. I have several 21-7-10 on both 5's and 6's, I need the 5's on some bikes just so they will fit in my toyhauler against other bikes. Both will work, matter of personal choice. I'm not sold on "bumpsteer" being the proper term, although very commonly used, but you will want to make sure your steering stops are up to snuff with a wider offset wheel. Quote
tyler73 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Posted March 12, 2015 I ordered the 10x6 but how would a 6 make it shorter and fatter if the tire width is 7" and the rims are 6" it would only suck in 1" and on 5" it would suck in 2" Quote
tyler73 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Posted March 12, 2015 I ordered the 6 I wonder how that offset takes jumps Quote
