RMAX 1000 Wheel Size/Offset & Tire Type/Size Thread

I pulled my RMAX4 onto my trailer and measured from each side of the trailer to the outside of the wheel I measured 1/4” narrower in the rear. That’s close enough to even for me.
1” spacers would make it 1 1/2” wider in the rear compared to the front of my machine. Another forum member said his was less than an inch narrower in the rear without spacers and a little over an inch wider with 1” spacers.
More or less preload on the shocks will affect these measurements BTW.
 
I wouldn’t want different offsets on the wheels. I plan on rotating my tire’s as they wear.
I might change my mind about spacers after my springs settle in and I readjust my preloads. I installed both the front and rear brush guards today. While it was sitting on the concrete I noticed it’s sitting lower in the rear. If I’m pushing an inch narrower in the rear, on each side, after adjusting the suspension, I’ll probably go ahead and get 1” spacers. Right now I’m about 1/4” on each side.
