So i been lookin at gettin some new tires and rims for the brute and was wonderin what ya'll thought about the new 31" laws...how do they pull as compared to the 29.5's and will i have to worry about the 31's breakin axels more than 29.5's? need some advice guys as usual i appreciate the opinions

 

[phreebsd]

I like my 31's. No problems yet axle-wise.
They 11's seem to pull pretty hard. The 9.5 are pretty skinny but they do their share of the work.
the lugs are pretty good. about 2.5 inches on the side lugs

one thing to consider, if you get 31's you are going to need to heat your plastic to avoid rubbing. you will also need to remove the front plastic bash plate else your new meats will do it for you!

 

[BEASTBRUTE]

alot of people go both ways with this one. some people like the spacing between the lugs on the 29.5's, but you get alot of ground clearance out of the 31''s. its kinda about what conditions you ridin. The axle problem shouldnt be bad. IMO if you are not breaking axles with 29.5s you probobly wont with a 31'' depending on how heavy your thumb is. just let em crawl

 

[BEASTBRUTE]

29.5 and 31'' difference in lugs



29.5

31'' or just look at phreebsd's brute

I can't believe the ground clearance you get out of 31's :rockn:

when I run these 27's out 30-31's to come.

 

[BEASTBRUTE]

yeah heres another with 29.5s mounted

 

[GWNBrute]

Would to have to remove the bash plate with the 30 backs like you have to with the 31 laws?

 

[DjScrimm]

No sir....it's close though

 

[BEASTBRUTE]

i dont know if you would. Phreebsd did with his 31''s but since the silverbacks are a inch shorter and the side lugs arent as deep it probobly wouldnt. if you get the 31''s you can get wheel spacers so it wont grab that bash plate.

 

[outlaw brute08]

so with the mods in my sig. would i need to remove the bash plate and heat the plastic if i got 1" wheel spacers all the way around?

Probably not, but if you push them out, there's a chance they will rub the outside edge of the fender a little... when in full turn.

Go big or go home!:rockn:

 

[phreebsd]

what ever you do just make sure you full turn the bike in the yard going different speeds. You dont want that bash plate ripped off during a ride cause then it drags underneath and will be impossible to get off. i had to feed my winch cable thru mine so i could hold it up

yeah........ that was a good idea if I have to say so myself....

I put on 30 inch backs and rode with a buddy that has same bike with 29.5 laws. We both went through same holes but my backs did get through easier. We both have same mods except for pipe. He has utility slip on.

 

[Mud Narc]

I heated my fenders today and no problems with scrubbing but the bash plate is a different story. i modified it. Cut it close to the frame and that solved my problems and this is with 32 backs.

 

[GWNBrute]

Man I'm starting to get real hungry for some bigger tires. Times are pretty uncertian right now and I dont know if spending the money would be a good idea

 

[phreebsd]

Feed that hunger brother! Feed it well!

 

[GWNBrute]

I want to bad I've been looking around and shipping will cost an arm and leg. Getting them here in canada will be at around 1500-1700$ for 30 backs.

I just have to figure out a way to hide that from the wife:thinking:
