    Wheel Upgrade Question

    I have a 2017 Ranger Z521c and I am looking to upgrade the stock 14" wheels that have 215/75R14 tires on them. Can I upgrade from the 14x6 wheels to 18x9 wheels and am I able to run wheels with up to -15mm offset without rubbing the fenders? I have run a tire calculator and have found tires that will be equal to the height of the stock tires on the 14" wheels now just not sure on how tall and wide I can go with aftermarket wheels.

    I’m not sure if they will fit or not but I would imagine a wheel that size would have a much smaller tire. The sidewall of a trailer tire provide a lot of the shock absorption so without that side wall it makes it’s harder on your trailer.

    Why not just go to a tire store, have them put one on and see what the result would be .Seems the easiest thing to go to answer your quesiton

    Without making the fenders wider I doubt you can make it work. Most cases when I change my customers tire/rim package it involves new wider fenders and a slight wheel spacer.

    I have the same boat and mine has 17" wheels. My problem is I need a new Bullet wheel but it is no longer made.
