Sportsman did you buy the 500SP new?Have you got abook on it,Iwas raffling through some stuff the other day and found my manual for the 96 500sp,if you need it I'd send it to you or anyone that needs it just e-mail me.CM

 

THANKS ,I HAVE ONE .DO YOU HAVE A 96 SP500 AND YES I GOT NEW. WANT A BIGFOOT KIT FOR IT.

 

They are supposed to be 7 pounds lighter per wheel. The come in the polished or gunmetal gray now. Call Highlifter at 800-699-0947 and ask them how strong they think they are. HL also has them for $99/wheel. Hope that helps.

 

I have a set of Magnum Billet wheels with 27X12X12 tires front and back, with a set of durablue spacers that have been machined to accept stock wheels and tires also. "If you do not modify them you have to remove them to run stock tires" Anyway, I need some cash and I will sell the whole set-up for $700. (I have them on my 98 Sportsman and they are awesome) Aired up to 20 puonds, the are about 28 inches tall. With the width of the tires and spacers, I found this to be much more effective than putting just 28 inch tires on. E-mail me @ gregsims01@excite.com or page me at 903-596-2108

 

I forgot to mention the tire brand. They are vampires.

 

I WAS THINKING OF GOING 27X10X12 FOR F. AND 27X12X12 FOR R. DO I NEED TO MOD? I WANTED GRAY WHEELS.

 

No, you should be ok. I can tell you the extra width on the front accompanied by the spacers makes a huge difference. When you go 12" wide you can put about 20lbs of air in the tires and get an extra inch of ground clearance. The wide tires baloon up better.

 

GREG, DO I NEED A LIFT KET ?

 

I would put one in the front, but no more than 1.5 inches, unless you put a steering limiter on it.
