hi just picked up a set of 30x9x14 itp crypidid tires (new take offs ) and want to put them on my 1000-5. the problem I got it the rear wheels are 9 wide correct ? . will the tires be to narrow for that wheel , I would love to use the factory rims if I could , Also I cannot go any wider than I am now as the trail gates around here I just squeak through them now stock , what are my options guys .Also can I get by without any type of lift ,First post guys show me the love
Well.... unfortunately you're not in a real good spot. Looking at the machine one might think it can't be too hard to put on 30" tires but there's a lot more to it than just a simple "out with the old and in with the new"
As stated previously, a tire that measures a true 28" tall is the max that will fit on a pioneer in stock configuration.
The pioneer has a nice tall wheel well but clearance at the top of the tire isn't the problem. The front tire will hit the back of the wheel well. Because of this, adding a lift will not solve the problem. You will need new front A-arms from somewhere like SuperATV that sells forward swept A-arms. This puts the tire further forward and adds the necessary clearance from the back of the wheel well. With this you'll need steering stops to prevent axle breakage and you will have a significantly reduced turning radius.
If you aren't wanting to take on that level of modification and/or you don't really need 30" tires for the riding you do, the best solution would be to part ways with those 30's while you're still ahead. Get some 28" tires that fit your wheels and carry on.
