Hi all,
I've done quite a bit of reading the last few weeks on rims, wheels, offsets, etc. Looking to upgrade my son's tires and rims. The 2020 420 Rancher comes with 24x8x12 up front and 24x10x11 in the back. I've added a 2" Highlifter lift to it. He has decided on Maxxis Zilla 27" tires and would like to have 14" rims. The only issue I see with this could be the width of the 27" tires. From research, I need to get 5+2 offset rims all around. The 27" Zillas are 27x10x14 front, 27x12x14 in back, which adds a good bit of width all around. If they'll fit with no rubbing, we'll go with that.
The other options is to go with 28" Zillas. The 27"s are wider and come to a total weight of 99.6 lbs. The 28"s are 28x9x14 front, 28x11x14 rear and come to 98.6 lbs. So they're actually lighter. And the Zillas do run a little shorter from what I've read and experienced (have a 2020 Rubicon with 25" Zillas that measure about a half inch less).
So, do I go with 14" rims with a 5+2 offset all around and 27x10/12x14? (front/rear 99.6lbs in tires)
Or, 14" rims with 5+2 offset all around and 27x9/11x14? (front/rear 98.6 lbs in tires)
He is NOT opposed to 12" rims, but I'd like to get what he'd want. If he hates the 14" rims I could always put them on my 2020 Rubicon 520 and throw the Rubicon rims on his.
Thanks!
