P500 Wheel and Tire Set Upgrade Questions

[Wisdumb]

Hey guys,

I am looking to get some wheels and tires to upgrade from stock.
Here is my plan:
Front -
26*9*12 tires on 12*7 - 4+3 offset wheels
Rear -
26*11*12 tires on 12*9 - 4+3 offset wheels

Not opposed to running 12*9*12 on all 4, but also not worried about being able to rotate.
Thinking BH 2.0s or something similar. I do not need very aggressive tread.

I'm keeping the stock wheels and tires and do not want to use spacers so switching back to the stock wheels and tires will be easier in case I need to drop her back down to 50 inches. Thinking the 4+3 offset will make that more viable, even though most people in here seem to run 5+2.

Does this setup sound like it will work well for me? Where is a good place to source this? It seems a little hard to find 4+3 offsets in each of these sizes.

Thanks,
Wis

I have BH 2.0 in 26x11-12 on all four corners. No problems at all.

Sounds like an excellent set up to me. 4+3's might be hard to find and when you do you'll probably be limited on selection/look. 5+2's open up the choices and that's why most of us have gone that route. You can always throw some 1" spacers on to make up the difference in stability, though I doubt you'll need them unless you're adding weight up high. The 2.0's are a great choice for an all around tire, light and they're radials. You'll get a little more flotation running 11's on the rear, helps in the sugar sand.

Thanks for the input.
It is looking like you are correct. I'm having a hell of a time finding 12*9 rims with a 4+3 offset to match the front. Looking like I am going to go with a 5+2 and get some spacers from RB3, as they have a good reputation on these forums.

You guys are awesome and have saved me an incredible amount of time and headache!

I am struggling to find 12*9 wheels that match the 12*7s in the front.
Am I going to run into any problems mounting an 11 inch wide tire on a 7 inch wide rim?

Not at all. That is what I am running.

Awesome, that is what I was most worried about.
Thanks @Todd627
