View attachment 134954 32 outback max on sti 17 inch rims. Of coarse they are 5+2 so no clearance issues. 1800km .. no belt issues, no clutching. Measures out at 17 inch clearance and 68 width . LOVE IT!!!!!!

So I looked up your tire spec. It shows 52lbs on the tire. You say no issues. Reading the forums a lot of people talk about tire weight being a serious issue to the belt and performance. Have you seen any decline in power or quickness? I am looking at an EFX steal belted radial in a 32 that is rated at about 46-48 lbs. The tire looks great! I am tempted to try it. I have not seen many steal belted radial tires for a UTV. Thanks

Here's my setup

Big T It looks like you have a stock wheel as a spare. Is there any issue with running a smaller tire for a spare with the drive line? Thanks

I had the Aftershocks as well and I really liked them. My problem, not the tires, was my Walker Evans wheels would not compress enough to seal the bead on them properly so I decided to give the 32" KR2s a shot. (Local shop via Jackson Racing @ 260/tire plus the shipping. I have also seen a online dealer that lists for a hair less with free shipping) The tire weight is listed at 39.5 lbs.
Regarding the width, I too had reservations, but I can confidently tell you these tires flat out hook up in desert hard pack in a RS. When I ran the Bighorns I drove in 4wd all the time as the back would get a little to loose at speed for my comfort. I drove the KR2s in 2wd nearly the entire time except for sand acceleration, climbing hills or crawling. In 4wd they have amazing acceleration but I'm trying to see what belt life I can get if I'm slightly less abusive to it and somewhat respectful of the tire and wheel weight.
The KR2s did not disappoint in high speed handling either through the bumps or flat out getting it down a trail. They gave great direction change confidence. I had very few bump steering moments trying to rip the steering wheel from my hand (which in 2 occasions I actually turned around to see what the hell I hit; big rock to one front tire both times). I imagine with less tire width it must help with steering power/control. I figured BFG knew what they were doing. In regards to air pressure I had read 20 psi but ran 17. If I was high speed through long rock sections I would want more pressure.

How wide are your wheels? They look good on the X3. Also what is the total weight mounted up? Do they measure a true 32”?

They are the 15x6 with 5.11 back spacing. The tires are actually 32.5" tall mounted on these wheels as they claim. BFG specs a 6" to 8" wheel but recommends the 7". Definitely nice to have a bit more belly clearance as the stock bighorns bottomed out and allowed the rear to hit the ground.

I did not weight them but Walker Evans lists the wheels at 18 lbs (guessing that does not included the weight of the 24 damn bolts and washers per wheel) and BFG lists the tires at 39.5 lbs for a total manufacture claimed wheel/tire weight of 57.5 lbs. If I get my car out of the trailer this weekend I'll weight them.

Weighted one today on a crappy scale. Weight varied between 60 to 62 for tire/wheel combo. I did weight the stock 30" bighorn/tire and it came out at 44.8ish lbs multiple times. Again this was all on a bathroom crap scale. I weighted 2 - 5 lbs weights and the scale repeatedly showed 9.4 lbs. This combo is heavy but damn well mannered in the desert. Take it for what it's worth.

All of my wheels are 7" wide but in different offsets. I didn't measure the actual height.. Total weight is related to your wheels and mine are the DWT 2 and 3 piece sets which weigh about 15lbs per. My 32x14 Aftershocks weighted about 38lbs.

Found this cool tire comparison

http://the-welters.com/racing/rotational.html

I went ahead and put in the numbers for an xrs stock wheel tire vs one with chicane 32/10r15 on hdi5 beadlocks. According to their math the extra rotational inertia of the bigger tire is the equivalent to adding 919lbs of chassis weight. Thats pretty crazy.

Just bought a 2018 Can Am Maverick X3 Turbo R, and purchased BFG Goodrich Mud Terrain TA KM3 (33 x 10.5 x R15). Will I be ok with running a 4+3 offset on 15" wheel? I have attached some pictures, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. I was looking at the 15x7 Alba Racing R Beadlock wheels 4+3 (4" inside). Please post links and pics, I have several months before I will need to throw these on.

 

[skidoochris]

wow 33 on a 64" chassis
going to be close....sorry no help

 

[warlock]

I would look at the sector zero. The least amount of offset the better. Also get the lightest wheel you can get .

Just noticed your running the 64 inch width machine
You are going to need at least a 5/2 off set wheel
Maybe even a 4/3 to run 33s

Im running 30inch liberties with 5/2 off set raceline wheels on my wifes 64” x3

aztec1382, so the link I sent is for Method 401r 15x7 4+3 Offset. I will also be sending this to a shop for the clutch adjustments etc. and I have a few months before pulling the trigger. Just wanted to post this as I know I'm not the only guy on here with a 64" X3 that wants to go to a larger/ more durable tire. Either way though I appreciate the help and will post pics once they are on.

[aztec1382]

Thats a 401
Any wheel with a 4/3 offset should give you enough space between the rear trailing arm
To run a 32 or 33 inch tire




The 401r is a lighter race wheel, but will not work for you because the offset is really close to stock
So you’re tires will rub on a 64 inch model

aztec1382, gotcha. Are there any other options wheel wise? Money is not an issue, will these work?

KMC makes some 15x6 wheels for the X3. If you want a 7” wide wheel a 5+2 offset on the 64” wide model will be fine

sand shark, I will check these out, thx for the help!!!! Would these work?

I run DWT Sector Zero wheels with 32" tires, no problems.
Also, I'd stay away from tires designed for a 5000 to 7000lbs truck just to get to 33th

 

[2109]

PropDR can you send a link or pic?

64” machine here. I do run a fair amount of roads so I decided on a light truck tire. Actually a Maxxis Bighorn truck tire 31”x10.5”x15” on a Method 15x7wheel
