Anyone running this set up? Any problems? Guys with the 11" wide rears, think you could fit 12's with no worries?

Thanks!

@hop, Should be ok. If you think about it... Its only adding a 1/2 inches to the inside.
But Still...
Maybe a P500 owner can chime in soon if they run 12" rears.

Thanks Hondasxs, but I couldn't wait for an answer any longer lol. Ended up ordering Ripsaws, 26x11x12 and 26x9x12. Reviews say they're heavy, but bulletproof. I'll throw up pictures when they get mounted up.

If you have a rim designed for 10 " tires and put 12 " wide tires on it ,won't this balloon them up to stand taller then the front and put stress on your driveline when in four wheel drive.The same thing would be true if you used 7 inch wide after market rims on front and back and used two different tire widths ,that extra width has to go somewhere if it can't go out when inflated it will go up, or wouldn't it be enough to worry about, just a thought

the factory rear rims are 7.5in wide the standard aftermarket rims are 7in wide adding a 12 wide tire will make no difference at all the tires are basically the same from bead to bead the tread face justs hangs over further on a wider tire and most 12in wide tires are not a true 12in width anyway
