Found a set of takeoffs from a Yamaha YXZ. They are beadlock rims. New rims are 14 x 8, 6+2 offset in back, 14 x 6.5, 4.5 + 2 offset in front. (stock P500 are 12 x 7.5, 6+1.5 rear, 12 x 6, 4.5 + 1.5 front) Has the same inside offets as stock, and a half inch more outside. Fit without any issues. I did have to get new lugnuts, Yamaha uses a 12 x 1.25 thread, The Honda uses a 12 x 1.5 thread. The new tires are 27x11-14 rear and 27x9-14 front. Stock tires were 24x10-12 rear and 24x8-12 front. The ground clearance went from 8.75" to 10.88" in back and from 9.75" to 11.75" in front. Took a quick ride in the below freezing weather, did just fine. With the green color on the P500, I wish the rims weren't red, but I can live with it. They cost $600 with less than 20 miles on them.

Did you use spacers? If so, or not, what is overall width of the front and rear? Any rubbing issues?Those beadlocks look nice.

You might see how much it would be to get the red rings powder coated to match the unit in green :)

When I first put them on, it was without spacers. No rubbing or modifications required. Width was 52"
Later I added 2" spacers front and back. Had to cut the frame corner to clear. New width is 56". Hopefully a bit more stable, but I can go back to 52" by pulling the spacers if I need to fit a restricted trail.
