P500 P5 finally arrived

[Shive]

I picked mine up Tuesday. We just got back from Arizona and it hadn't come in yet so we didn't get to ride it there. I guess we'll have to go back.
I just put 26x9x12 Carlisle versa trails on all four corners to stay at 50". It measures 50 1/8 up front and 49 1/2 in the back. I could have gone with 11's in the back, but I want to be able to rotate them since I ride a lot on asphalt. Stock rims and no spacers. Clearance on the fronts is fine. Honda windshield and soft top. The bed came off of a mid 90's EZ go. I need to make some sort of tailgate for it, but it's ready to go aside from the powder coaters. Also installed a glove box and I made a storage space under the hood with a sheet of polyethelyne.

Looks nice. 26x9 is a great size for the 500. Those tires look pretty nice. First time I’ve seen them installed on a machine. Put some miles on and report back!

The factory front rims are not the same as the rears. If u want to rotate, you’ll need to get rims that are all the same.

Great unit and based on the thread, you are excited! I am curious, what make/model ezgo bed did you use and could you post a few additional pictures of it?

I got it out of a dumpster at the college I worked for. I'm just guessing since they had ez go carts at one time. I'll post more pics after its been powder coated.

When it's time to rotate I'll just remount them. I have a good friend that has tire mounting equipment. It only takes a half hour.

You figure out how to get it into the house?

Well....we do have a walkout basement with sliding glass doors. Hmmm

Can you measure the length and width and post those numbers? Reason for asking, there are several beds out there, but finding a nice match for the P500 is highly desired by many....

What is the difference between front and rear?
If it is only the "offset" could I use spacers on the one pair of wheels when they are mounted on the 'wrong" axles?
I like the idea of being able to rotate my tyres but dislike the thought of spending money on alloy wheels.

I can’t remember exactly, but I think maybe the rear wheels are an inch or two wider, and the offset is slightly different

It measures 44 x 31. The size is almost perfect. There are several that measure 41 or 42 wide for various applications but none 44" that I have found online. I think a 42" would look fine. You can find them in aluminum and steel reasonably priced that fit Yamaha, Club car and EZ go.

Got it back from the powder coaters. I had them use semi gloss black to hide some of the dings in the bed. I mounted it on a sheet of poly I had laying around to eliminate vibration.
