Wheels

Here is a link of the wheels i'm looking at getting, but I am contemplating moving up to 14" rims or looking some more and finding 12" in the type 7 in black......so what would you reccomend 12" or 14"??? And does anyone know where I can get the type 7 in black without beadlocks at ?

Little Smith........14" eat up HP real fast and the side wall pinch is something to think about also.

However, 14's do give ya more ground clearance!!

Just

Ya, thats what I thought also Fox, but I can't find the type 7 in black ANYWHERE in the 12"!

ive got one type seven i bought off ebay i use it for my spare and its a 12" black i had the 14 inch c sevens on my 06 660 with 27" MAN TARS and i never had a problem with the sidewals on the 14's then im just gonna have to see how the bighorns hold up id say there not as tuff man they got some grip just keep lookin on ebay or diff sxs sites or craigslist the only reason id hate to get 14s is cuz ud have to buy new tires and thats expensive

That is off just a little bit. 14'' wheels do not eat Hp. And 14'' wheels do not give you more ground clearance. If you take a 26 inch tire made for a 12 in rim the center or radius will be 13. if you take a 26 inch tire on a 14 inch rim the center or radius is still going to be 13. Your ride will not site any high just because you went with a 14 inch rim.

Also a 26 tire on a 14'' time will probably weight less than a 26'' tire on a 12. Since you will have more aluminum and less rubber. The only thing that changes between the two is the amount of sidewall on the tire.

I have been running 14's for over a year now with no side wall problems.... Which I am running 26" 8 ply tires....

i think 4x4 pac is rite. and i never had any sidewall problems on the 14 inch rim i guess cuase maybe the smaller sidewall is stiffer making it less easy to penatrate . but ive seen that running lower psi in a 12 inch rim helps in sidewall flex and better traction in rocks..... just an observation from watchin other peoples rides ive got 14's on mine just because they were on it at the dealer. id like to get a set of 12" douglas diablo beadlocks l8ter and some gbc grim reaper 8 ply tires eventually

I don't think they make the type 7 non beadlocks anymore. I thought they discontinued those.

One thing to think about too. It seems that the 14" tires are more expensive on almost all types.

Check this site out Smith.

Maybe???

I have a set of 14" black C-type 7's with 27" XTR's mounted on them, TWO! rides on them, still have the nubies on the tires! Shot me a PM and we'll see what kind of deal we can do.

ollie Sorry, but I WANT THEM IN 12"

12's.................the only way.

Well I found them in black in 12" ......but they were wrong bolt pattern!

smith700 I found some 14'' for you but no 12''. Thought I would post it. It would be a good deal for someone
