Will 30's fit. Thinking about trying some tall skinny 30's. 8" front, 10" on the rear, stock wheels.

Thats new ground.
So far we know..
28's will fit without a lift if you do the frame mod.
There is video of a guy claiming to run 29.5 outlaws.
And... A P5 running a set of Superior Traction tires would be BAD A$$.
So.. Keep us updated.

That would be the ones. Not any side lug, but I like the skinny tire. With the same tire in a 27, only one width.

If someone running 28's could take a pic with the wheels turned, I would like to see how close they are to rubbing.

I installed 27" Kendra Bear Claws all around. 9" width front and back. Had to trim the frame rails slightly directly behind the tires. Installed the tires for more clearance and speed. Like them so far, have them aired down to 7 psi but will probably go lower to improve the ride. Love the machine though. Use it mainly in my ag consulting business.

Can you give us an update on how these worked out for you? Curious about your impression of ride quality & handling.

I like them so far. Only have about 30 miles on them. I am playing with PSI to find what works best, sidewall says 10 PSI max.
They tend to dig in loose gravel, I would suspect they also would not do well in sand. Everywhere else they work well. This is not a tire for high speed and fast turns.

no I have not didn't feel it was needed for the times I turn the wheel hard all the way left and right the trails I ride on are pretty wide so its not that often it happens but they work great plenty of bite gone thru some mud pits with no issues great ground clearance I had the same tires and wheels on my 2014 rancher dct dealer wasn't giving me any thing for them on a trade in so I took them off and put them on p500 bolt pattern are the same 4/110 front offset same rears are different offset and studs are 12mmx1.5

I have a set of those on arctic cat rims if anyone is interested they put a lot of stress on your drive train so not going that direction with the p500. I had to replace the cv bearings all around and have another bearing inthe front diff to replace. They are great in the rough rocky trails out west but at a price.
