What are the chances you know wheels

Most all 8.25 wheels have a 6.6” offset measured from the mounting flange to the center of the rim. For the best turning radius, spec 6.6” or smaller. These reduced values moves the tire outward, away from the draglink/steering gear/pitman arm/frame, etc. 




Set back axles most always turn sharper than set forward given the steering gear relationship with longer draglinks. Wide track axles on less than 20K axles are a must. Couple them with the smaller wheel offset is ideal. I have yet to find a steel wheel less than 5.75”.

You can also access our latest program, GURU, on your phone. Just use the QR code previously distributed for 5-day trial access or let me know if you'd like one. 


The program generates a 15-page application (view) specific chassis report that can be transmitted to a Customer, a Dealership, or used as training. Salesperson-Customer collaboration drastically cuts down on the time lost due to misunderstanding, and improves conversion through buy-in.
