Hello all.

I just bought 2 of these in 6 passenger to use for my rental business.

These units are used just on the streets.

What should i use for tires?

I have never had anything with a 12 inch wheel.

Would I be better off getting 14 or 15 inch wheels?

What recommendations do you have?

Thank you so much!

Welcome to the forum. Hopefully someone will come along and help you out with your question. But most everyone here uses these Vikings off-road so they either stay with the stock tires or upgrade to better off-road tires.
I would stay with the 12” wheels since ground clearance isn’t an issue on the roads and your speedometer will stay accurate. Unless of coarse the only road tires you can find are in larger sizes.

Thank you for the response.

It seems that there are no good street tires in a 12"

I guess the most logical thing is to go with a 14" wheel.

I have read many threads but am still confused.

What wheel size and offset should I get?

I have always stayed with the stock wheels even when upgrading tires. There are many here that have installed larger wheels and tires. Maybe stick with stock offset when going up to 14”. Someone will probably be along to give ideas.

IDK - What about these? But just because they have DOT rating doesn’t make them street legal I suppose. https://www.amazon.com/Bundle-TERRABITE-Heavy-Radial-28x10-14/dp/B07SFYW2HW

5+2 offset will keep the front tires from rubbing

5 inches "in" and 2 inches "out"

With the bigger tire wheel combination says 5/2 front 4/3 rears would be perfect.

Ah - ^^^^ That was for 14" wheels. I need to get better at reading. You want to stay with 12" wheels. But that front offset is a popular one regardless.

yes it looks like I have to step up to 14" wheels.

Normally I run Light Truck tires on all my other units as they last for a long time.

I will look for wheels in the offset you are talking about.

Thank you for the information
