P500 Help please with my setup

[lakelander]

New guy here with a new P500, your expert help is required folks. Last night I swapped over tires from my Rincon over to the my P500 (selling the Rincon). They are BH originals 25x8x12 front and 25x10x12. People are saying their track is wider in the front. Mine is 49.5 inches front and rear. Is that because of the the Big Horns? So should I go 1" spacers all round, 1" front, 1.5" rear or 1.5" all round? BTW looks way nicer with the BHs. This is a great forum

Are you restricted by 50 inch trails regulations?

I run the same size rims, tires, and spacers all the way around on my P500. I went with 2" spacers to get the best stability.

No restrictions. I can go as wide as my trailer which is 60"

Unless you have a bunch of weight added up high, 1" on all four would be adequate, especially with 25's.

And IF you have "a bunch of weight added up high"??

No weight up high but the trails that I ride in BC are fairly knarly and off camber. Curiously my track is the same width front and rear contrary to the other owners. So I guess I shouldn't run wider spacers in the rear. So confusing...

You're closer in track width due to running wider tires on the back and stock wheel offsets. A lot of guys are running the same width tires on all four on aftermarket wheels, that will make the rear narrow. Another thing to point out is type of tires and psi. I can measure mine front and back today and it'll be different tomorrow.

That makes total sense. So I think I might go 1.5" all round. It will look nicer with the BHs and the added stability (assuming its noticeable)

you will notice the added stability, that 3" makes a huge difference in stability.

Adding spacers defiantly will add stability and give you a wider stance. as far as size its about preference, We have a lot of customers who like 1" in Front and 1 1/2 in or 2" in back and then we have some that go with the same all around.
