Sounds like a great idea, but................................
I thought Mary Poppins (the nanny) gets really crabby if the outside tire diameters aren't matched properly.
Does this offer more tire selections ?

Options..!!

this does open a lot of options.. As long as you don't get to wild with sizes...:thumbup:

With these adaptors, what size and offset wheel would you be looking for to get back to stock location to fit under the fenders?

 

[3 Wheel Addict]

By spacing the bolt flange out further it would impose incredible stress on the bearings in the front hubs. That's why the front rims have such a he backspacing to keep the load neutral on the bearings.

 

[jcthorne]

No doubt the spacers will require a wheel with MORE back spacing than the stock wheels to get the tire back to its original position. But if the wheels are chosen with backspacing equal to stock plus the thickenss of the spacer, the centerline of the tire will be in the same position as stock and the forces on the bearings will not change.

That is the missing piece of information. What is the thickness of these adaptors? and what is the back spacing of the stock wheels?

More options for the adventurous; are always welcome! :2thumbs:

Looked up pricing, all I could find is C&S selling these on ebay for $395. Having purchased various sets of quality aluminum adapters in past, this seems to be awfully high. They don't give adapter width but based on the pics showing lug vs width, these appear quite wide requiring rim choices with a large offset. Since you can run larger tires on current rims, the best benefit of adapters is a wide choice of rims. Nice rims + expensive adapters equals big bucks coupled with test piloting a different size track if you don't perfectly match offset vs adapter width.

Yes the adaptors are expensive but would still like some dimensions so can see if any viable options really do open up using these vs the limited choices provided by BRP.

No one seems to know the backspacing of the stock 2013 wheels or the thickness of these adaptors. I did contact C&S and they were less than forthcoming on information, Trying to sell me one of their wide wheel kits ($10k) or sets of wheels and adaptors etc. I just want the data so I can see what wheels become options with these adaptors. With all the secrecy, its beginning to look like NONE. Just another vendor farce being sold with smoke and mirrors.

Also, while expensive, no one else seems to offer the adaptors for the 3 bolt BRP hubs.
