Why do I Need 8 inch wheels on ice age rails?

[5mphfaster]

Just got a set of 155 ice age rails and there telling me I need 8 inch wheels.  Just wondering if there's logic there or if just a money grab. I have a guy down the road put a set on and he put stock wheels back in with no issues  any thoughts or input.

8" wheels are factory on alot of sleds now what size are they on yours?

i dont think its a money grab just seems to be the standard now.

2008 till 2012 Doo was 7.5 inch no problems running them on rails.
Don't know it 2013 plus are 8 or not.

Ya if the Polaris wheels are 7.5" that's only 1/4 inch less I'm sure it would be fine

I'll try the stockers if they don't work I have a set of Xp wheels I can throw on. Not sure why the stock ones won't work they looks like the same mount positions. Guess I'll find out tomorrow thanks for the help!!

I put the 8" plastic ones on from iceage and folded them over in a couple rides (friggin junk!) So I put the factory wheels back on and the only time I noticed anything is in reverse you can feel the track hitting the end of the rails. I ended up ordering the billet 8" wheels from Iceage and its been good since

This is the only time you'll notice the difference, and once your hifax wears down, they'll be fine.
