New Wheel specs

[Sergio]

How to select a new wheel for my Outlander Max Ltd 2010? What do I need to know before shopping around for a new wheel understanding that my stock wheels are:
Front: 12X6 in
Back: 12X7.5 in

and I want ot stay in 12 in wheel

Do I need to worry about the Bolt Patern (4/137 I believe?)?

Thanks in advance

Yes....you have to stay with the 137 bolt pattern for sure....
What are you worried about? The aftermarket Rims are a little wider, but that is about it.

If my stock are right now:

Front 12X6 in
Back 12X7.5

is it OK to get 12X7 in for all four wheel (front and back) or I have to respect the 6in and the 7.5in?

Thanks

The width of the actual tires you purchase will determine the desired rim width as well as a possible offset change to clear the front tie rod ends.

If you get a 12X7 all the way around, you will not be able to run a 5+2 offset in the front. This is 5" to the inside of the wheel and 2" to the outside. The wheel will touch the tie rod end to your hub. You will need to get a 4+3 offset wheel. However, IMO this affects the handling of the atv. You will be EXTREMELY wide. If you talk to "Bones" at OMF Performance, (www.omfperformance.com) He might be able to fab up a nice beadlock or reinforced wheel with a 4.5+2.5 offset. I do not own a wheel like this but I race with somebody that does. This offset will clear your tie rod end just enough. Now if youre planning on getting an extremely wide tire, you will have to double check to make sure they will clear.
