P1000 Same size tire/diff size rim

[1Ktrailrider]

I'd like opinions on running all 4 (28-11-14) on stock P1K5 alloy rims. My factory rears bulge out past the rim and my factory fronts are practically flush with the rim (11"vs9"). I know the front/rear rims are different widths, just not sure how much. Currently my rear tires measure 25.25" and my fronts are 26.0". I want to do this for both looks and functionality as I can de-rim the tires and rotate as the back tires wear 2x's as fast as the fronts.
It seams as this wouldn't be the popular choice but I would like to see if others have done it and what it looks like.

What was the pressure in that rear tire that measured 25.25" diameter, and what was the full-scale reading of the gauge used to measure it?
Which 28x11-14 tire are you thinking? A BW Evo has an entirely different profile than a BH2, etc.

The pressure is 14psi on all 4 corners. I just measured them with a tape, if that's what you mean. I'm looking at the Interco Swamplite. 6ply. What I don't want to happen is the front tire being taller then the rear because of the narrow front rim.

I was curious about your pressure gage, to get that diameter.
When I set a tire to 14 psi with a 0-15 psi gage, then measure it with 4 different gages that are 0-60 or 0-100 full scale, I get readings from about 8 psi to 18 psi. All of these bigger gages are within 2 psi at 35 psi.

I ran 28x10x14 terrabites on stock wheels for a while. I don’t think you’ll have any issues

I wondering the same thing I have factory wheels and I am looking at 28x10x14 tires.

28x10x14's all 4 corners and spare on stock wheels. No problem

Those are the same tires in getting. How do you like them. I heard they where heavy and do they measure true?

Haven't really measured them. I will say I have 1000 miles on them and no flats or failures. Yes they are heavy and 8 ply.
Have heard they are not great in the deep mud or snow, I don't have much of either here is Central Texas. They have not let me down on any of the group rides I have attended.

27x11r12 10ply mongrels all way around on stock 9 and 11 inch rims. no problem!!...to say i was surprised wud b an understatement!!!!
perhaps 27x9r12 would have done just as well. dont know...never will
