Default Swapping rims, different machines?

I have a 1996 Kodiak 400. Will the rims from a 2007 Brute Force fit on the Yamaha?

They probably will not work due to the fact the Kodiak is a straight axle machine and the Brute is an IRS machine. What would more than likely happen is the off set of the Brute rims would take your tires inside too much. It may also take them in so much as to make your tire rub the exhaust. The front rims would more than likely work...Just not the rear tires.
Hope this helps
Buck

Yeah, your probably right but my Brute Force is a newer version of the Prairie, I believe. (Solid rear axle). I have the stock tires from the Brute lying around and I found a local advertisement for 4 rims from a 750i for a $100.00.I have no idea what these rims are worth but it seems like it's not a bad deal.The Kodiak could use some new rubber and the rims have seen better days. Maybe I'll buy them anyway for spares for my machine.
