RT vs. RS wheels

[GaryTheBadger]

Has anyone tried to put the 12-spoke RT front wheels on an RS? The BRP accessory catalog says the 12-spoke wheels are for the RT only. Why?

The RT wheels have more offset. They are set a bit wider to the outside. Your fenders will not fit without modification (or the RT brackets?) if you use them on your RS, and the wheel alignment and steering may be affected.

scotty .. do you think I`ll bring my RT easier around our curves with the RS wheels ?? (or did anyone try that ?)

Thank you Scotty.

I don't think so. The extra weight and height of the RT demands the wider wheel track. I think the excessive body roll with a narrower track would defeat your purpose. Not sure what it would do to the steering geometry, either. JMHO

It'd only be better in the snow! Wider better for dry pavement, so they say...

:agree: Instead of skinnying up the RT, why not let somebody try a set of RT wheels on an RS (Without fenders!) and see how much better it does The Twist...:thumbup:
