Wheel offset

[Oldfart1stATV]

That's a term I use for cars, not sure if it applies to Blasters/ATV's. Anyway, you all know you can flip the front rims with the stems inward and gain width, that is the "offset". Any cool cheapy tricks like that for the rears? Any other set of wheels (from anything else) have the same bolt pattern and apply to this task?

My rears are wider but I can't tell if it has another axle or what...the rims are bigger too. they are douglas .190s

i think the rear blaster rims are zero offset 5+5 , if you get banshee hubs and then you kan use warrior, raptor, or banshee rear rims, but i think they all are 5+5 zero offset, at least im certain warrior wheels are, my budy has one, raptors might be 4+6 or 6+4

Most rear rims are 3-5 offset.

Most rear rims are 3-5 offset.

ya know that finally hit me but it was too late to edit my post, for some reason i was thinking the rear rims were 10'' wide , went right over my head they are only 8'' wide

i mustve been thinking about the wheels on my T/A

 

[randelator]

hehehe!!!

i have different rear wheeles and i have them offset instead of a new axel

Is the Banshee axle any wider than the Blaster?

 

[flyers42091]

Yes it is. I dont remember if its 2inches, 1inch on each side, or 2inches on each side making it 4inches total.

Hmmm

Is that there banshee axle a bolt on? Or do we have brake, sprocket, etc. issues?

I think the raptor axle is actualy the exact same axle as the blaster axle. I'm getting a set of raptor hubs sp I can use a set of 4x115 wheels on my '01

 

[flyers42091]

Do you mean the raptor 350 or the raptor 660/700? Cause im pretty sure the raptor 660/700 has a wider axle. I heard the banshee fits, but i think you have to do something with the brakes and sprocket.

what about using another carrier, correct me if im wrong but arent blaster/banshee/warrior carriers all the same?

and also if your any good at welding, which im sure oldfart is, and have access to the tools to make brackets easy, which im pretty sure he also does, you kould custom fit it all if not just bolt it on and them BOOF, wider with better brakes and more sprocket choices

 

[BigRedWood]

Screw the damn brackets. The fricken axle tensioner sh*t on the Blaster sucks!!! Sorry I mostly ride bikes and this pissed me off. I had to tinker with one of those damn bolts for an hour. The jackass who sold me the Blaster was too lazy to buy a new chain and stripped the sh*t out of the whole mess.


Going to Fab. up a new carrier tension setup (making a swingarm and a-arms, anyway). I'll will post pics. What is the finally say on the width of the Banshee axle? Is it +2 or +4 overall? Also are +3+1 a-arms. . . 3in on both sides? Any Ideas about carrier/tensioner let me know.



P.S. whatever axle you find. It can go into the carrier if you can find the correct BRG's and axle nut to make it fit. Any questions, I work for a machine parts store (different then an auto/bike parts store). We can get anything for any application.

+3+1 a-arms, are 3 inches longer perside, which makes the quad 6'' over all wider, and place the wheel 1'' forward

 

[BigRedWood]

Thanks for the dimensions. When out and bought metal for my carrier idea. Hope to make alum. axle blocks and place the carrier in the swing arm. Cross your fingers!
