I am divided on using spacers. Some say there will be no harm to your wheel bearings and some say they will affect the life of your wheel bearings. I would get a some opinions from some of the other lifetime members on using spacers and their impact on wheel bearings. Just a friendly suggestion.

Had th on my 16’ P1 since fairly new and my Talon since new No wheel barring problems. Theses are alot lighter than cars and trucks That are notorious for wheel barring issues with spacers.

stick with the 15’s you will rub the caliper.
Mine are 15’s with 31x10 coronavirus and Have been happy so far. 1,200k on them

31-10-15 carnivores are expensive and harder to get, I would go ahead with 32s before 31s, planet sxs says the 14 msa's will run on it, and they sent me a link to some 15 MSA's with 32 carnivores but 200.00 higher and I don't wanna drain the power outta my machine

You could put those 4 tires on your stock wheels and be fine too. You can run 14s on an X and be ok too. The R has a nub on the aarm, that can get in the way and cause damage (still not a garrentee). You still increase your risk of rim damage when you go to a 14 but it's not really bad on an X. I personally run 15s on my X.

And if you put spacers on the rear (which I would do), you won't have any problems with them on the rear. 1.5 inch spacer is the ticket.

Ones like a 8in. Rim and the other like a 6in. rim, that would have to look strange

Lots of guys have done it, it doesn't look all that bad.

@Lil_Steve is running 4 front rims without spacers on the rear. Even after he told me he'd done it, I couldn't see it.

I hadn't thought about caliper/a-arm interference with 14" rims but I found this damage on my 15's when I put new tires on mine; so I won't be running 14's anytime soon. Too bad, I really wanted to try the KM3 UTV tires next time but they only come in 14" for the 30" tires I run.

My thoughts are, and I could be wrong.., now you have 6+1 on front which puts turning rod up in wheel about a inch, like your scratch is about a inch in, if you put a 4+3 on front it should bring that turning rod out of the wheel some, just my thoughts

The thing is, it's engineered for 6+1's on the front, that's stock. If you put 4+3's up there, you're affecting your scrub radius.
