So my question is whether or not there are after market wheels in a 12 inch which can be used that won't add width to the P-500? I want to keep the 50" so that it still fits in the bed of my truck, and so I can still ride on the restricted trails.

What offset does not widen the machine? I didn't think there was an aftermarket wheel that kept the 50" width. I thought the stock rims were 5+1 offset...most aftermarket are 5+2 which widens the machine 2" this chart helps read offsets How To Read Wheel Offsets
Mine is 51 1/2" in the front.....53" in the rear....I get through all 50" gates I've been too
you could keep the same off set ....narrow the tire...

My P5 has 12" dia by 5" by 2" offset ATP 212 rims and I'm running AMS Slingshot tires in 26" by 11" wide on all corners as I recall I think I'm 53.5" wide. What I do to load in my 96 powerstoke shortbox is I have a sheet of pressure treated 3/4" plywood (4'by8') with tailgate down. At the front (just back of cab), I screwed on a 4" by 4" post across the plywood to prevent the P5 from going through the rear window. Also put some chalks on plywood to hold the ramps under P5 when travelling so they don't fall out on the highway. In terms of wheel wells I stacked a couple pressure treated 2 by 8s a foot long or so and just lay those down beside wells to drive on. I can load without but over time it might dint wells or dig rims pending p5 tire pressure. Installed some D rings at corners of pick up bed and ratchet strap it down. Hook P5 end on (front) Upper A arm (rear) lower A arm run respective strap over top of tire then to D hook on each corner. Ratchet down. By ratcheting to A arms and over top of tire, machine can flex suspension and "move" with truck on rough road, yet the ratchets never fall off. Front tires are chalked against 4 by 4 and I only have maybe 4-5" of clearance at most to rear window, so far fits snug and stays put.

Mines a 2015 HD Chevy Z-71 but not the long box. Should be the same between the wheel wells.

Yeah...but use some sort of support for tailgate
Indubitably, I do that already. Been hauling mine around in there since August 2014. I just wanted to know if I could find after market wheels that would allow me to continue to fit between the wheel wells. I don't want to have to build plywood ramps and the like. Also, I already squeeze through trees rubbing both sides quite often as it is. I don't need any more width.

So the front barely fits through the wheel well, and the rear doesn't need to, so that should work for me. Did you buy your wheels from Rocky Mountain?

What used to be nice was when ITP made a 6+1 offset for a 2005 Yamaha Kodiak I had (I notice they are doing it for several Polaris UTV's now too)...they kept the width the same and did not fling mud...I believe they were ss112's...if they still make them it would be interesting to see if they would work with the pioneer

Mudthrowers does the same thing when you put in your machine...problem is aftermarket wheels are usually wider...to the outside...a nice 6+1 offset would be great...keeping the same width without the mud...tricky part is when you go to that offset you always have to worry about brake calipers...They are doing that now (ITP) with some RZR wheels so the mud doesn't throw as much...I'd love to try it if I thought someone close by had them...the same ones I had for my Kodiak that is....
