So I am about to pull the trigger on a wheel / tire package (soon bc I'm currently sitting on jack stands). I have been reading and research a lot lately and I see some conflicting information.

Is the bolt pattern 4/136 or 4/137 or both? According to RM ATV when I enter my vehicle info it selects 4/137 but according to threads here its 4/136...has anyone confirmed 4/137 will work?

I'm looking for 28"x10" tires all the way around I think I've decided on terrabites. Will 28" terrabites give me anymore height than my factory 27s?

Most wheels I am looking at have 5-2 offset, this will keep me close to factory width? A 4-3 offset will give me a wider stance?

Anyone running 28x10 terrabites wish they had gone bigger? I just want a good stance but I don't want clutch issues either. Pics of guys running terrabites are appreciated as well.

Thanks

Funny you shall ask this. I just installed 28x10-14 Terrabites on mine this past weekend. I had them installed on MSA M32 axe wheels. 4+3 offset.
I took before and after measurements at the trailer hitch and fairlead bolt.
13 3/4" at trailer hitch on factory non-deluxe 12" rims and tires
20 3/4" at passenger side fairlead bolt with 12" factory rims and tires.

14 1/2" at trailer hitch with new terrabites installed at 14psi. (I plan to lower that, just wanted to leave them in the sun and let them stretch)
21 1/4" at passenger side fairlead bolt.

I have pictures of said measurements, but I haven't uploaded them to my pc or ipad yet.

I am running those same tires on ITP Hurricane wheels that are 14x7, 5+2, 4/137. I did not measure overall or track width, but eyeball measurements would say the the front track is pretty much as stock and rear overall width is a little narrower because the tires are narrower.

With stock suspension, I would not go taller as the clearance at full lock is pretty tight.

Pics are in my garage.

Bolt pattern is Honda verified as - 4/136.
However, lots of people are running 4/137's.
Only a handful have reported a issues.
Most, probably don't even know the difference.

Also, what's the most miles anyone has or has seen on a set of these? I'm hoping it's the last set I'll be buying for years, I put about 600 miles on my buggy a year and about 80% is woods trails and 20% asphalt.

My 27" set has 1,900 miles of almost all high speed, hard braking and cornering asphalt use. They are holding up really really well. They are made of a much harder compound than normal UTV tires. Think of them as little truck tires.

8 Ply also means you'll be less prone to punctures. They corner much better too. Didn't notice any harsher ride to speak of. Not overly loud on asphalt. With the low miles you put yearly and being mostly off asphalt, I'd say those tires will outlast your machine.

Nice stance for the 5 seater! Looks great!
Thanks! I was happy with not only it's looks but performance as well at the Takeover! What many don't know is that I ran in 2 wheel drive toward the end of the Takeover on wet trails and also on the night (river) ride! Terrabites were awesome!

Anyone know if 30x10x14 terrabites will fit on stock suspension? I've read a lot of people say they measure small and in some pics they looks small especially on the back. I have 4- 28x10s in my shopping cart I'm just hesitant to pull the trigger.
