P500 2 inches means 1 inch... tires.

[Jshell3]

When I first went to the 26" Bighorn 2.0 on factory rims I took some measurements, and gained almost 2" in height. That probably dropped a little when I adjusted the air pressure, but never did a re-measure and can't find the original data. Anyway, not all tires are exactly at their rated height.

Good post. I hadn't seen that.

Which leads me to my next question...

So 2" bigger tires means 1" only taller, and if I were to buy a spacers, to compensate for gaining height... should I go 1" spacers?! Per side, that equals 2" wider...
Or go 2" spacers all the way around?

1" spacers on all four, hasn't felt tippy since and still fits in the truck bed. Measured it once, 52 1/4" at widest point.
Got mine from Super ATV...used red thread locker. Have checked them a couple of times, still tight.

Just how much do wheel spacers cost I'm thinking about going with 1in

Thanks

Like Trigger, I got 1" spacers from Super ATV. I just looked, and they are only showing 1.5" ones: Honda Pioneer Wheel Spacers : Super ATV LLC

Yea and I just ordered a set of two spacers for my P 500. Where would they do the must good in the front or the back.

Probably the back, but I would get another set for the front.

I plan on all 4 but having to count my change to just get the first 2. Work is slow for me now.

I've been looking at that very question... best I can find is $67.99 on Amazon.

I'd say the back, I rarely even have to use 4wd. Plus all the engine weight is in the rear.

Ok on the back they will go The next set to the front.

Billet brand
pay more...better quality
$189.00
+use RED loctite...
alot of the cheap ones
the studs snap....
I been reviewing these for
6 months...
just sayin...

 

[rocmar]

Offset tires to gain width is preferred to spacers as a matter of stress and wear.

Keep um tight
I know a handful of guys
never had a lick of trouble
...RED LOCTITE
....spacers cheaper than
off set tires....by far

 

[rocmar]

I know this has been hashed around many of time, but I cannot come up with any reasonable explanation of why that would be. If the offset is the same, all the geometry is the same, so stress should not be any different. I have had the discussion with some MEs at work, and from the high level they couldn't see how it could be different, either. I do agree that the more offset the more stress. How much additional stress given the 1-2" offsets usually discussed here, don't know, but haven't seen any posts about changing out worn wheel bearings or ball joints yet.

PS: Sorry, I wasn't sure the horse was quite dead yet.

Your correct Fuzzy
those who fail to maintain
there machine...could have
trouble. .I'm going 2" On all
corners...if keep tight the
extra stress.....very minimal

Correct again Fuzzy
30" with 4psi are 28 1/4"
