P500 New tires on stock wheels

[BThompson]

Hey guys. Just got a 2018 P500 the other day and it has stock wheels and tires. I want to upgrade to 26 inch tires. Do you think 26-10-12 on all four would fit weird? I know that the front and rear stock wheels are different widths but would like to have all 4 tires the same size.

It'll work. You won't be able to rotate with the different offset wheels but...rear will end up narrower than the front too as far as track width.

Will they at least be inline with each other? Or will I need to add wheel spacers somewhere?

any reason you want them all the same size? I run 26's and run a narrower tire up front. curious what the benefit is to keeping them all the same size

what trigger said! rotation, most run in 2wd more than 4 and the rears wear quicker, especially with the rears always locked.

If you're adding taller tires to the stock wheels I'd recommend spacers anyway, otherwise it's a puckerfest.

So I should probably just get 4 wheels that are the same size as well so i can rotate them and plan on getting spacers as well

Now you're talking. 5+2 offsets and a set of 1" spacers for the rear...good to go.

makes sense, I don't run roads so tire wear is not an issue for me

Just ordered new Journey P350s rears the same width as front. Concrete scrubbing has taken its toll more than 2x than the fronts. Figured the locker will make up for a narrower tire. Bought them now as my search for 27s found out of stock on a few sites. Got them via Walmart online third party vendor free shipping.
