My New Rims

[tnvolgrad]

My new rims - still have to change out the bearing buddy to get the center caps on, but looks pretty good without them. Perfect fit and happy with the Yokohoma S-Drive tires.

Pretty fancy looking!! Nice. Reminds me, when we get in and out of the boat while on the trailer, people were always slipping when getting out of the boat "feeling" with their feet for the fender. So I put some "no-slip" material on the fender between the two diamond plates (the one on the top of the fender and the one that is a step at the front of the fender). Now eveyone can step out of the boat and feel secure with their footing. My fenders are black though so it blends in nicely.

Is that a DHM trailer?

Looks awesome! What size are they?

Yes it is a DHM trailer - I struggled trying to find a rim/tire combo to fit underneath the trailer, but finally found a set of Yokohama S Drive 245/45/17 XL's that were north of 1700 lbs to hold the weight. The orginal tires (e.g. Carlisle's - 235/60/14) were rated at 1800 lbs - so I lost about 400 lbs of weight rating across all four tires, but not that big of deal. The rims are a 8.5 width (Fuel Rims - Can't Remember the model) 4 on 5.5 bolt pattern with I believe around 18mm offset which pulls the wheels in to account for the extra width of the tires. Essentially the 18mm offset almost perfectly the increased width.

I did have to play with the carpet that lines the inside fender well - just had to push the bracket a bit and put a couple of washers on the center bolt.

Good idea - of course I want to keep everyone off the fenders . Haven't seen you out at Hagg Lake this year yet - we'll have to go do a bit of surfing some time this year.

Awesome thank you!

I heard it was difficult ( not impossible) to put big wheels on the DHM... you did your homework!

Thank you for the groundwork... anther winter project
