Has anybody put 9" width tires all the way around? I have 26 X14 X11 Big Horns in the back and it slings mud everywhere. Thinking of ordering 26 X 14 X 9 for the back also to see if that helps. Im all about mud riding when I want to. Not all the time. Also does anyone know of a aftermarket rear bumper for the P-4. EMP makes one for the P-2 but it will not work on the P-4. Thanks

River4,
Welcome to the community. Take a look around and don't be afraid to post if you have a question or need help.

Here is a few topics to look at.

See you are a jeep owner. I'm guessing you have the ability to do some welding.. If so you can modify the EMP rear bumper to fit with the P4 like I have done. Here's a few links:

As for the mud... Well, this is common with aftermarket wheels. We ALL are waiting on some aftermarket mud flaps.
Until then... Here are a few post from a few talanted members.

Rear - pioneer-700-accessories-and-modifications-f48/rear-fender-flares-t1012.html

As for going smaller on the rear. Not sure that would give an improvement you fell good about. You actually need to change wheels to a lesser offset.

Thanks.

Thanks for the info.. I did make some make shift flaps for the wheel wells. They are working better than without. I am going to try the tires in the rear just to see how that works. I also thought about modifying that P-2 bumper. Probly will have to. Im just waiting to get hit in the back on one of my rides. I will let you know how the tires work out. Heres a pic of the EMP front bumper

I like the idea of changing the offsets. But what will be cheaper? The wheels or the tires?

I have the same size on the front and rear. 26 9 14 Sedona Ripsaw's and really like them. There is a photo on here in the wheels and tire section. And Yes I do not get a lot of mud in the rear. You still get some just not a lot.

I got the 9's all the way around. And like others said it still gets muddy, not as bad though. I made some more fender flares out of the landscape wrap. A guy on here has the same thing, where I got the ideal. Problem pretty much solved
