Tire and rim help

[MasterChief520]

I have a 2021 Pioneer 520 stock. I want to put 26x9x12 & 26x11x12 on it. I need to keep it under 50 inches wide or I can't fit through the trailhead posts. Can I use the stock rims? Will it rub or stick out to much? Do I need off set rims? Any suggestions would be great! Thank you

Changing your tire height should not affect your width unless you’re significantly under inflated and even flat it is going to be minimal. Unless I completely misunderstood your question.

The tires on it now are stock. They are 24x8x12 & 24x10x12

👍🏻 Yeah that minor difference in tire width isn’t going to stop you from clearing a 50” gate. If it does you have to be rubbing the gates now with the rims of the wheels.

I just make it through now. Wasn't sure if it would rub on the inside of the machine

No pics of the rig. Should we say POIDH Skipper? 🤣

According to the math, an inch in extra width each tire; half of that will project inward and half outward. So, all things otherwise the same, you’ll gain a 1/2” on each side for a total increase of 1” in overall width.

In the real world, it matters which tires are involved, because manufacturers fudge the numbers all over the place. So all 11” wide on paper are not necessarily the same width. You could start by looking at the specs for section width from the manufacturer and see how the actual section compares to the nominal size.
