Lots of choices and theories out there. I’m not made of money so I enjoy forums like these so that you can hopefully make the correct choice for your particular situation.

I am running the System 3 SB-4 7x15 with 6+1 in the front and 4+3 in the back so no need for spacers. Be careful if you use a 14 inch wheel because it does not leave enough clearance between the wheel and the brake and hub components and rocks and other debris WILL get stuck in there and you could cause damage. I have seen it happen. BTW nice looking ride and good luck with the new Machine.

Tire diameter? Tell me again how much cooler your feet are with the roof off? 🤔

Cool, the AZPT runs through there. Running the entire route is on my to do list.
14” has more tire and rim choices but 15” is quickly becoming popular as well with plenty of choices.
I stayed with 15” since I heard of some 14” rims rubbing caliper or stones getting stuck between.
I run 5+2 all around with 1.5” spacers on rear. I think the spacers were from dune gear on eBay. USA made I believe.
I had a X2 first and now a X4. I run 32” carnivores on 5+2 SB4. Around 600-700 miles of mostly TN riding on this Setup with no issues.
You can check out my build thread. Starts with X2 then switches to X4 but I moved all accessories/upgrades over to theX4.

Vondy's 1000X-2 / Then 1000X-4 Builds
UPDATED TO 1000X4 in 2020 - Most all parts were moved over or replaced with the same part to fit 4 seater. Talon 1000X build with parts info and ride pics. Started offroading in the late 90s when Jeeps were the main off road vehicle. I spent many years wheeling and building them. As SXSs...

Nice ride Vondy! I’ve decided to go 15” on wheels from everyone’s feedback. Leaning towards a 30” tire. I don’t want to bog her down to much with a lot of tire.

Hey guys,
I am in the same situation as the original post... long time p500 and p700-4 owner. Just bought a 2021 talon x-4 non Lv. Love the machine so far besides the low speed rough ride on rocks! Really curious to how bad the rubbing is with 32 inch terrabites on stock wheels or tusk headlocks. Can’t decide between 30s and 32s. Anyone have a pic of the clearance in the fender well at full turn? Have bandit tenders on the way too, hope to have and install them this afternoon.
Hotrod- these are 32s, right?
Thanks in advance.

I have a 2019 Talon 1000X. I just got my 32” Terrabites mounted last weekend and we are going riding tomorrow and Saturday. I can let you know how it does next week. I also installed the Bandit tender springs. Will be trying them out for the first time weekend.

If you don't mind me asking, what does it measure across the outside in the front now?

Rednick-
Great looking rig! Yes I’d love to hear how your experience is with your new 32’s. I just went to install my new bandit tenders and they sent me the wrong set. The fronts are way too wide or fat for the front shocks... of course can’t get ahold of anyone either. Hope they get back to me via email soon. Surely they will make it right.
look forward to hearing how those tires ride. Thanks
