P500 Anyone Running 27" Bighorns & ITP Delta 4+3's ?

[GreenBush]

Yes, I know and I apologize in advance...tires and wheels have been beaten to death....
(Couldn't find this exact info in a search...not that I searched properly but I tried....)

Just trying to figure out what's going to be the best "fit" for our new 500....buy once cry once..lol..

Thought I would go with the BH 2.0, 27x9/27x11 with the ITP Delta 4+3....

Primary usage: This will mostly be used as a utility rig...but, I luv a cool factor as well as being able to trail it...

Too tall..?
Too wide..?
Too bouncy with 27's..?

If you have this combo...how wide is your rig now , F & R ??

Is there another combo I should be looking at as far as tire size and offset goes ??

26" & 5+2
26" & 4+3
27" & 5+2
Suggestions if different are more than welcome..

I like the BH 2.0's as well as the ITP steel wheels so just looking for the right/correct size combo...

Soooo.....what does the hive think ?

Thanks guys.....

If I were doing it all over again I would go with 27's on 4+3. I'm told 28's will rub so 27 is as big as you can go. I'd buy the BH 2.0's again too, good all around tire and light. That machine will have a nice stance and stability with 4+3's. Where's the pic of that new ride?

I'm running a different tire with that combo...... 27 Terrabites on ITP black steel w/ a 4+3 offset. I love them, made it very stable, no rubbing.

Lol....pics coming this weekend...being strapped down in the trailer doesn't do it any justice !

Just don't want too big or wide..read 27's can be bouncy (??)... I have Bear Claw 26x9/11's (seem they run small) and 5+2 ITP's on my son's Foreman 500.. Heading north tomorrow so thought I (errr.. he, ) would throw them on there.. No, not apples to apples but might give me an idea...on his bike they could probably be 27's and be fine..Beefy machine. I like the Kendas but will put the BH's on the P5 like my 570...

Thanks for the help today....

In one of my many searches I've seen your rig...lookin' good bruther.....

How wide are you in front and back now ? I read those tires run small..true or false ?

Have any actual measurements of the tire W & H vs stamp on sidewall ?

I am running 5+2 wheels with 6x9x12 Original BH's on all 4 corners with 1" spacers in front and 1 1/2" spacers in the rear. If I remember correctly, I am at 54" wide.

If you had to do it over...would you go with the 4+3's and 27's ? 4+3 and the 26's ??

If you have 5+2's and 9's are at 54"... Then the 27's and 5+2 might be a tad wider....that's about wide as I want to be...Hmmmmm.....

How do I get a glovebox ? Please PM me your info....

If I was to do it over , I would probably consider the 4+3 wheels over the 5+2. I don't think you have the selection of wheels if you go 4+3 though.

PM sent with glove box info !

I've never measured, we're not limited for trail width UP here so it wasnt a concern. I can get you some when I get home on Friday.

@GreenBush after you get comfortable with the machine , get rid of the anti-sway bar. This will really improve the ride.
