Are you using stock front rims,,,the offset on stock wheels makes the front more narrow than most aftermarket wheels,,,also check the offset on the rear. |

i forgote to add in to the front that i have a 6" wider front beam.... i was thinking that i could just exchange the rims for the 15 x 6 for the front...will that be enough or should i do the 15 x 5 rims also i would still want a 33" tire in the front....that would also have a brother tire of 33 X 10.50 or 12.50 all are the same rims...empi wide 5 steel 15 x 8 rims |

WOW.. You have 33 inch tires in the front.. Can you post some pics... I would just leave it... The nice thing is you will always know the back will fit between trees in the front makes it. I have seen buggys get the front through and then the back gets stuck because it is too wide. |
