P500 Which Rims to use ?

[silvertrd09]

I will be ordering Pockets some new tires soon. I have 2 sets of stock tires and wheels. 4 front wheels and 4 back wheels.

Stock front wheel is 12x6 and offset is 4.5 + 1.5
Rear wheel is 12x7.5 and offset is 6+1.5.

New tires will be QuadBoss QBT 446's 26x9-12 on all corners.

I will also be running spacers, 1" front 1.5" in back

The question I have is what wheel set up should I run? All 4 front wheels? All 4 back wheels? Or like factory setup with 12x6 in front and 12x7.5 in back?
I ride in very rocky terrain and will also install power steering in the future. TIA.

All 4 front rims?

Yup

🤔...... rims.....

You want to have an uneven track width?

🤔...... rim jobs.....

NoHomo 🤣

Lol, I do not. I guess I could just use spacers on the back if I went with all 4 front wheels to help get it pretty even.

Correct. With the same wheels and tires on all four you'll just need 1" spacers for the rear.

Having already ordered and received the RB3 widetrac bundle do you think having a 26x9-12 on the front wheels is best as Remington says or just go with the stock configuration? I guess I could sell the 1.5 spacers?

I'm going to start a tranny thread for you in the Shop / Talk forum. It'll be awesome! Watch for it.

You could use either set of those wheels honestly. I'd put the 1" spacers on the front and get some 2" for the rear. Seeing as you're jumping up to 26's it'll make the machine more stable. RB3 might be able to adjust the order or just do a swap?

🤔 That's not a topic on my watch list.....ever. I was just wondering if the RIMS you were talking about were on your wheels or on your tires. But if the tranny thing hits your buttons, then you might want to talk with @JTW........if you say his name 3 times he'll visit you at night......😂😂😂

Lol, in the south people call wheels , rims. I shall forever refer to them as wheels. Just trying to figure out if there might be an advantage of one or the other.

😂😂 I know man just giving ya some shít 😂 I grew up hearing both "wheels" and "rims"

I would listen to @trigger's suggestions though, he's the P5 guru 👍

Cant adjust the order as I have the RB3 spacers already. Still in the box though. Might just order some 2".

They call them that incorrectly…they are wheels. !!

I’m running 4 28x10’s on four fronts with 1.5” front spacers and 3” rear. I don’t remember exactly but the rears are 56” and the fronts were 53 or 54. Basically all the rear width is from spacers. Front width is spacers and 10” tires. Next year I’ll set the 4 rears up with 28x12 Mud Lites for spring snow entertainment……

If you have them in hand you could try them out and see how far off you are. The measurements front to back and overall width will vary on the given day. 1" wider spacers on the rear will get you pretty close though.

Change up on the tires.
Ended up ordering SunF A043 's
26x9R-12 . I think they will ride and wear a little better then the QB's out at my place.

 

[silvertrd09]

Got my tires today. 26x9R 12's they measure 24 1/2" without being on the wheel. My stock 24" is sitting about 22 1/4". These SunF's look good. Can't wait to get them on. I got a new deer lease here by the house that I'm itching to exploring on.

I really enjoy my sunfA043s they are smooth rolling, and wearing great plenty of traction in any situation I've been in... plus don't make much dust at all on the trails. I got the 27" version and they are at exactly 27" at the 8 psi I run at.
