Discount tire messed up my stock rims so they ordered me new ones.

They messed up the offset when they ordered them. I decided to bring them home and see how they fit. I like it, looks sweet.

I dont know what it will do to the handling though. Its a good 5" wider, maybe more, i need to measure.

Side by side with my stock rimmed Carbide. The pics really dont do it justice, looks much wider in person.

more understeer.

How much we talking though? Think it will be horrible?

[x-bird]

only 1 way to find out ... shouldn't be too bad though.

I wont get a good feel for the handling until spring though

The offset will make it harder to put in the back of a full size truck. But awesome tiers, we have the cst ambush on both our dune 150s and way softer ride great sand traction and fun drifting on gravel roads.

The wider rear trac will increase understeer, (Push) but most consider the added stability a fair tradeoff. A aggressive turning front tire such as the Kenda front max will put it back on track. A pun?
Moving the ground contact tire footprint further away from the axle bearing increases the chances of bending a axle and places added strain on the axle bearings. You normally don't experience these problems unless your really slamming the buggy around, jumping and stuff. But again. most are willing to accept the trade-off.
Most state and government parks limit the trail wheelbase to 54". so check your width if you plan to use these areas.

The front tires are still wider than the rear

Can you flip the wheel or will it make the offset worse?

That's a good thing. Most steering issues result from the rear being as wide or wider than the front.
