P1000 Noob looking for input selecting wheels and tires

[Archer440GR]

Hello,

New to the group. Looking for input on wheels and tires for our 2018 Honda Pioneer 1000-5, Base model. We mainly do road riding and we are looking for a quieter, smoother ride than what we have. I am a rookie and don't quite understand the wheel sizes, offsets etc. From what I have researched I am looking at getting the following wheels and tires shown in the picture. Will these wheel and tire combination work for my ride? Before I order, I want to be positive that I am ordering the correct combination if wheels and tires. Any input would be appreciated.

Welcome from Mississippi. I bought the 5+2 wheel in a 14 inch and went with 28 inch Bighorn 2.0 tires with 9 inch width in front and 11's in back. Got a 1 inch wheel spacer in the rear to even up the track width. No lift kit, no scrubbing and 3 1/2 years with no problems.

Those are sharp looking! I'm confused though, why would you need a wheel spacer?
Do you have info on what you purchased exactly? I like the looks of your setup.

The 1 inch spacer is to even up the rear track width. Stock wheels have more offset to the outside than the front, if you go to a 5+2 all the way around the rear is narrower. You could put 6+1 on the front and 5+2 on the rear. Thanks for the compliment, my purchasing info is long gone, I bought them before I joined the forum. I do remember buying them from the Monroe,La. area already mounted.

Great information. So, even with the 5 + 2's I was looking at purchasing for all the way around I would need a 1" spacer for the rear on mine. Correct?

If you want the rear the same width as the front, yes sir.

 

[Archer440GR]

Oh, I see you already said to get 6 + 1 on the front. My bad. Do you think I would have any concerns about clearance or anything?

Not sure about the 6+1, but with 5+2 I have absolutely no clearance issues.

Is it recommended to keep the same width all the way around? I am from Wisconsin and would like to keep my machines wheel base as the same as stock to avoid ant issues.

While your shopping add about 5 pounds of air to your current setup. I did that for another reason and noticed the Honda was quieter.

6 + 1 are the factory front off set I believe w/ 9 inch wide tires, which are stock width as well. ????????

 

[Archer440GR]

Ok. Thanks everyone for the great info. It really helps.
From what I am understanding, to keep my machine stock width I am going to order the following:
Front wheel- 14x7 4/137 bolt pattern with 6 + 1 offset
Rear wheel- 14x7 4/137 bolt pattern with 5 + 2 offset
Front tire - 27x9-14
Rear tire - 27x11-14
This should keep the front and back in line and not extend the wheel base any further from factory specs?
I apologize, but this is confusing to me and before I order and spend the money, I want to be confident I am ordering the correct items.
Thanks for everyone's patience!

Road riding? What does that mean?

Look at tusk terrabites,DOT approved.rockymntn atv. Get the rims and tires mounted ready to go.
