Do those steel wheels have any offset?

Hi. They are 12x7 inches wide 5+2 offset all 4

I like those, I am curious how they do on the trails. What part of the Hoosier state are you from / ride in?

Haven't hit any trails yet. Put about 10 miles on them on country roads. I'm in southeastern part of Putnam Co. Ride county roads alot. Been to Badlands, Red Bird, Turkey Bay and enjoy MI in the fall.

What make and model are those tires? I like the tread on them. Thinking they'd be good on the gravel logging roads.
Thanx Al

Hi. They are Rage Storm tires by Discount Tire. I have not rode enough to give my thoughts other than I like the looks of them. I got them on ebay for 296 shipped. I have seen them that price with a 75 dollar rebate too. I'll run them on this and the 700 as I have never ran a radial let alone a tire bigger than stock.

Will weight, once finished, not heavier then my KFI 72 inch plow. I used 11 gauge steel ,I'm gonna drill some holes to light it up, but p500 should handle it.

I like the V-shaped design. Looks like some of the large highway snowplows.

Just ordered the heat shield matting to stop the automatic butt warmer now that warmer temps are coming, any tips for installation or lessons learned? Did you need adhesive? Thanks in advance.

Noise level definitely went down with this stuff.

Great job solrus!!!

 

[Bad_bowtie]

Stopped by Oreillys after work and picked up some 75w140 diff oil. Was gonna get Mobil 1 but they didn't have any. So I got Royal Purple Maxgear instead. Anyone tried it?
I also picked up a 2 foot 3/16" gas line and a 3/16" connector to extend my fuel tank vent.

@solrus That plow is awesome, very nice job!

 

[solrus]

Thank you guys! Next project is under way, still gathering all parts.
