I have a 2020 Honda Pioneer 1000 with stock wheels and tires. I want maximum ground clearance. What size tires and wheels are recommended to accomplish this?

This is a funny ask, as it is asked a lot on the forum.
It's been stated over and over that 28" tires are the largest without a lift or floorboard mod for tire rub. I just put on a set of 15x7" wheels (with a 4+3 offset) on a set of 29.5" Maxxis Carnivore tires and a 3" Rough Country bracket lift. Tires are great but they do rub on full suspension compression while turning. I am waiting on a floor board mod kit to address the tire rub.

Good question, running stock shocks.

I cannot bring myself to spend $$ just for shocks, can't decide if a nicer ride is worth the cost, although every post I have come across says its worth the bucks.

Roger that,
Reason i ask is that you rub at full compression. A good aftermarket shock will take care of that problem in 90% of cases.the spring rate and rebound is much grater. Now in my case, i have the QS3 Foxes and i run “true” 30’s the LT/MS tires not UTV tires that in most cases are not exact in hight say 28,29 and so on. Anyway, i have done the side door storage mod and have added weight to the machine. Therefore I did an inexpensive spring change that salved the over compression problem and just overall better performance of the shock. Noe for you, i would consider the cost of a better shock. You wont be unhappy you spent the cabbage on them.
you can see the upgraded springs in silver.

Also to note, the lift you have also changes the Geometry of you suspention putting your shocks at an almost vertical point especially in the rear. (I once had the same) This can make the ride much stiffer to the point if knocking out your fillings with stock shocks on our Mich snowmobile trails for sure lol. Aftermarket shocks will help cure that. But keep in mind in most cases with the pre load you can put on the aftermarket shocks, you can/will achieve The Lift hight you have now, eliminate the lift and can go back to the correct Geometry of the machine and a better ride.

Excellent, glad you responded, I have read some similar posts but was a bit skeptical.

Ok, I think I am convinced, some better shocks are in my near future... by the way the meats you have on your P1K look tough!

Thank you! Controversial subject about LT tires with some. Ive had them for about 3 years and cant say anything bad about them. Mud has been great, sand and the ware has been good as well not to mention the ride quality on pavement if u have to. I cant remember the weight of the wheel and tire combined but they werent much different than my other MSA’s and 28” Motoclaws i had before.
