    Wheel size

    Im looking to upgrade my wheels this spring as I need new tires anyway. Do any of you with a XB21 with the boatmate trailer run 15" wheels. I currently have the standard 14 inch 5 spoke wheel and looking to go to the avalanche style thats on the newer trailers. I can get either size but since I getting new wheels and tires I thought Id go with 15" wheels vs 14" if they will fit. 205/75 14 vs 15 is only 1 inch difference in OD.

    You can get a shorter sidewall on the 15" tire to make the swap without any issues.

    One of my friends has a new one that came with 15" wheels.. It looks better than my 14's -- it fills the wheel well.

    15" is now standard on all XB-21's and they will fit the standard fender.

    We have an 18" option and it gets a wider fender because the wide wheel/tire will rub the fender liner.


    I have 2 new 15" wheel and tires on the shelf.

    I think they're 9" width.

    Raised my fenders a bit and moved them out until tire barely touched the inner fender liner.

    Tim, do you carry the 18” wheels that hammerhead posted above? If so do you have any in stock and what is the bolt pattern/offset?
