Quick question: What is the weight of the OEM 29" Carnage tires? (fronts/rears)
 
How come nobody talks about rim load ratings? To me, that's the most important factor. You don't want a rim that's rated at 1000 lbs for a vehicle that weighs 2000lbs (RMAX2 fully loaded)
I believe that would be 1000lbs - per wheel.

OK,
this thread is doing my head in.
I am still awaiting my Rmax4 so basing everything on this forum.
this is what i wish to achieve
Square set up ,
I do not need wider - very happy to keep same track,
I do not really need bigger tyres. I would be happy with up to 30" tyres.
I wish to have stronger side walls for our harsh driving in hardwood timber to try and prevent side wall punchers.

so if have got this correct this is what I need to find in our limited supply chains over here.
rims 14x7 5+2 ( 38mm off set )
tyre BF KM3 ( or similar ) 30x10r14
no wheel spacer required ?

thanks in advance

Squared up with a 5+2 offset looks great. Your naked eye will tell you it is indeed square. The tape will tell you the rear is 1/2" ish narrower. I'm not sure they even make 1/2" spacers...and if you add a 1" spacer, you are going to be 1/2"ish wider in the rear. Bolt 'em on and ride...don't over think it.
