So I got the RMAX back from the dealership yesterday afternoon and installed my new wheel and tire setup first thing. Let me say that I'm very pleased with the results. The fit is fantastic. Exactly what I was wanting. The stance it has is great. It just looks right. Where the tires sit with regards to the fenders is what I would hope to get these days on a new machine right from the factory like the RMAX2 comes equipped. The DOT radials ride so smooth as well. Feels like a truck when taking off or backing up. Can't wait to get them on the mountain and see how they do. View attachment 89611 View attachment 89612 View attachment 89613

The information you are seeking is in my signature at the bottom of all of my forum posts.

Right in front of my face...well I never said I was the head cashier at Jiffy Lube.... Still, all this discussion on "offsets", is over my head. I have an RMAX 1000 -4 Standard model. I want to go to a road tire, the Maxxis look great. Would prefer )the 29" as I have a height restriction for my garage (80" exactly) and Yamaha specs say the Standard model is 80". Note I am picking up the RMAX next week and holding my breath it will clear the door. Thus the need for a 28 or 29".
I want to run one size 29x10x14 on all four corners so the Question:: Do I need to install an offset on front or rear. Sorry for this long message. I am obviously new to this machine/forum

The Maxxis Libertys have been fantastic so far for any type of riding that I've done. As far as wheels go. If you are going to run the same size tire on all 4 corners I would recommend buying different wheels because the stock RMAX4 wheels are different widths and offsets from the front to rear. Some people have done the same size tire all the way around on the stock wheels but then you can't rotate the tires without dismounting and mounting. You can try to find someone selling a set of OEM front wheel takeoffs and run that size on all 4 corners because that is what the RMAX2 comes with on all 4 corners. When you go with the same size tire and wheel all the way around an RMAX4 you will end up narrower in the rear than the front though. This is why I put 1" spacers in the rear of mine. This is personal preference. I like to be a bit wider in the rear rather than the front.

Thank you so much for this information. I appreciate your time and experience. I know understand. My challenge is getting the RMAX to sit a little lower as my garage door is 80" Note, don't have my unit until next Tuesday but trying to anticipate a potential problem. Purchased new and was hopilong I could get the dealer to find some new tires for me that are DOT and lower that OEM it is coming with. Dealer not all that helpful.
