Wide Yeti wheel options For my Yeti kit build, I'm leaning toward Rock Beast XOR tires. I like the idea of a wide tire on the Yeti. One thing I'm unsure of is what wheels to put those tires on. I feel like a wide tire like that should have a wide wheel, but I'm also concerned about having too much unsprung weight. There aren't a ton of plastic beadlock options out there, and none of them seem to come in wide widths. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm leaning toward the 35mm Chanquish wheels. For those of you with aluminum wheels on your Yetis, have you noticed any handling issues from the weight? |
Re: Wide Yeti wheel options I run aluminum wheels. I never noticed a problem. It had plenty of power even stock to pull the front up or flip it on a turn at full tilt Sent from my SM-J727R4 using Tapatalk |
