    Custom wheels

    I bought a new Z519 this year and was curious about changing the wheels. Not sure if I wanna stay 14" or not. What rims have you guys changed too? Tire sizes? Cost? Thanks!

    Single or tandem? As you have probably seen, Ranger’s black chrome Challenger wheel in 17” runs about $1200 as an upgrade from the factory (sold for tandem), but I’m sure that reflects a deduction for not installing the standard wheels and tires. I have heard that they are about $2500 when purchased after-market. I have this wheel on my new 519, and it is sharp, but maybe not what you consider custom. Pro’s Choice in Missouri puts custom wheels on a lot of their stock boats, and I’ve seen some exceptionally sharp examples from them. Prices vary, but $2500 for 4 wheels and tires is probably average, with some certainly running as much as $1000 per wheel.

    They can be had for under $200.00 each many places online. 17x9, not sure of back spacing.

    Thanks John! Do you happen to know the offset from the factory ones? I found 14x6 and 5x4.5 bolt pattern wheels online I might replace them with.

    Nathan,

    What size 14" tires are on it?

    I am considering trying to go up to 14" on mine from the 13" but not sure if the 14's will clear the fenders.

    The selection for 185/80-13 is kinda sparse so I was hoping I could go to the 205/75-14 GY Endurance.

    Got Racelines on mine. Really makes it look like a whole different trailer.

    I need to find someone close to see if I can try one of their 14's on mine to see if it will clear.

    Just curious as to the load rating the wheels are rated for. I know that Ranger trailer department told me that the ones they put on their boat trailers in the 14 inch size are the highest rated load capacity you can buy.

    Looks very nice but that spare tire wheel looks out of place. Maybe throw a Ranger tire cover over it.
