Hi All

I upgraded our 2024 Rmax4 LE to 30x10x14 BFG KM3 tires and used stock front (6.5) and rear (8) wheels. I did put 1" wheel spacer on rear to help square up.

My question is for those who went to 30x10x14 tires, did you use staggered oem wheels or put (4) 6.5" oem "front" wheels or (4) 8" oem "rear" wheels on Rmax with or without spacers?

So many threads on this, but struggling to find the straight answer.

Also, running 17 psi...any suggestions on air pressure for riding on dirt trails, field and roads?

appreciate the input as i want to make sure i got this right. Thank You

im running stock rims on 30x10-14 tires, the only issue i have is sometimes to put into 4wd (hard to get in) or when driving it feels like you have binding between the front and rear, the rear tires being on a wider rim cause the diameter of the tire to be smaller than the front, this winter im going to fix this issue! front rims in the back, as for spacers im not running any, psi between 6-8, Hercules TIS tires

thanks for your input. I was looking for front 14x6.5 LE rims myself but tough to find out there. I see them on ebay used but all black and do not have LE machined finish. I may just pull the trigger and get (4) 14x7 4/156 4+3 offset ITP Huricane wheels in matte black with lugs/valvestems for $600

I’m running 30x10x14 on my 2021 RMAX 4 LE, no spacers with stock wheels 12lbs in south west Colorado with no problems.

The BFG KM3s offer a excellent ride around the 8-10psi range. If doing a lot of high speed then I'll bump up to 10-12psi. Generally I run the front 1-2 psi lower than the rear, depending on the load in the back.
They suck in the sticky mud, but are great everywhere else.

I ride mostly desert rocky terrain in Southern NM. The carnage OEM fell apart with chunks of tire tread breaking off. I've had terabytes on my other machine and they take the torture without chunking so I put Aramid belted 30x10x14 all around om my RMax 4. Bought 2 4-3 offset Tusk wheels similar to OEM and used 1 1/2" spacers on the front to make square 67.5 width. Just got back from the Arapeen Trail system 240 miles in 4 days. I'll stick with Terabytes for all terrain except sand and deep mud.
