1.500 is 1 1/2" or one and a half
Oh wow! 1 1/2 each side thats awesome. :) Thank you!

So i will benefit in width more from the 4+3. Why does it seem most people go 5+2 intead ? ? Whats their benefit ?

It's the most common wheel used IMO

I'm not even sure they have a 12" 4+3 wheel that has the 4-110 bolt pattern (pioneer 500) but I could be wrong!

Not to go against what you are saying , but you would actually gain 1.500 per side from a 4+3 wheel from the stock wheel!

Something else to think about , is the amount of bulge you will get from the tires. The wider the tire is , the more bulge you will get!
With the proper psi.....
alot of guys get 28"...30"....
With 4 psi....there really only
26" ...28...

But the wheels are wider, so you'd actually gain a little more width than 1", right?
How would it work out with stock 12" wheels with Ripsaw RT 25" tires with 1.5" wheel spacers? Got the stuff, just haven't had time to get'em on just yet. Trying to combine good grip, strong tires and some added stability. When I'm in Colorado I figure I can easily remove the wheel spacers if I need to access the 50" trails. It only takes me about 20 minutes to remove my Complast tracks and put wheels back on my Honda Foreman. Figured the wheel spacer changeout wouldn't be a big deal either.

Pretty new to this website. I'll be posting some pics soon. Just finished building a modified tailgate for my 8' long dodge pickup bed that I mounted a 36 gallon 9" wide fuel tank up front which allows me to load the P500 with the rear tires sitting on the tailgate. I can still hookup my Travel trailer in tow and make turns without hitting the trailer. Safer loading the P500 also.

Rather than going with a spacer why not go with 2+5 off set wheels?
