I’m running 6+1 offset wheels in the front and 4+3 offset in the rear. That gets everything lined up nicely. 1.5” or 2” wheel spacers in the rear is another option. I’ve also got the wider fenders on the front only. The wide fenders on the rear just doesn’t look right.

Yes I thought about the different wheel off sets but a pain with a spare as nice having everything the same .
Yes to the front fenders and comment . Have front only on order .
Nice machine and like the cab lights . Nice touch and have thought the same thing .
What light did you go with ?

I got a kit of Amazon. 2017+ Ford style lights. That style is smaller than most others. Got them with blacked out lenses so they blend in with the roof when they are off. It’s red neck but I like it. Lol

Did the cheap Amazon as well and easy install .
Thanks for the idea and see how long they last I guess with trees .
Bought a cheap horn kit as well and for $38 it’s a nice kit .

Fawk.

I was just changing some tie Rod ends on my Rzr and set up some strings to align things.

Mines wider in the back by about 2 inches. But the front isn’t centred to the back. The front is almost flush with the rear on the driver side and the passenger front is about 2 inches in.

Can’t unsee it now that I’ve seen it.

The width is because the back is on the ground and front is up in the air. Will get wider with the weight. The miss alignment well not sure about that lol.
