I already have those. Hubs and rotors should be fairly cheap. Better than paying 200+ for adapters, which I've already done, and fighting with wheel companies, waiting, run around, modifying fenders, etc.volvite wrote:Have you thought about just buying wheel adaptors? I've seen this done before and would probably cost less than a hub swap.
I'm using 0.75" wheel adapters now (6x5.5), but finally can get rid of them. So after this, no adapters needed. My wheels/tires will now retract bu .75" which is good for the rubbing I got up front.volvite wrote:So no wheel spacers? How much did those wheels cost? Sound expensive.
Began pricing them and looks as if they start affordable, and end up not very price friendly, especially the ones that swing away. Found one for 800$, kidding me, I can have TAG make the entire rear bumper with swing away carrier and a double jerry can holder for close that price. I don;t really like the idea of the non-swinging types.volvite wrote:It was a hitch mounted swing away tire carrier. I've seen other less expensive units that attach to the hitch and then you pull the release pin and it folds down like a bike rack. I wanted the swing away as it allowed me to access the whole hatch and not have to step over the folded down tire. I also wanted the ability to tow still so having a recieve on the swing away carrier was a must. I saw you have a Rzr so you will probably want something similar so you can tow your Rzr.
As for just a hitch mouted tire carrier the basic ones start near $100. Not too bad, but those usually don't drop down out of the way. They will require removal to access your cargo hatch area.
I'm thinking in the meantime, the spare will sit inside with me and whomever is with me. Although my mutt and my German Shepherd will not appreciate it at all I'm sure.volvite wrote:Well I will watch as you try and fit a 35 underneath the rear end. I agree with you that for 800, you might as well spend just a few more and get the entire rear bumper. I was just lucky that someone was selling one for cheap.
