Gosh I know I am posting a lot but you guys are helpful. I have some rim questions.

Will 26" or 27" 589's or Mudrunners fit on the 650 stock rims?

I see that the 650 stock rims are offset. What should I look for if I want to acquire better looking and more durable rims? Should I try to find offset rims or would regular rims be alright? I really like the look of the ITP C-wheel and Delta wheel.

My "C" series wheels are due in today......I'll let you know ASAP. They have 1" more offset(toward outside) than stock.

I have 26x9x12 and 26x12x12 mudrunners on my stock 650 rims. They fit perfectly. I have pics up at Parker650

I have taken pics of the tires on the ATV this weekend and will be up tomorrow. Any questions feel free to email me.

Just installed ITP C-series and Mudrunner 27x9x12's on front and 27x12x12's on the rear. They fit great, no gas tank problems. They look great also, glad I went with the aftermarket wheels.

Hopefully this link works.

It looks real good. How did you get your four wheeler to shine like that.

Bigred650,
Clean it before it dries. I just use turtle wax car wash soap and turtle wax wet-n-black on the tires and black plastic.

Lookin great guys. Thanks for the input. Still deciding here. I saw some 589's in person today and they said "no highway service" on them. I do like to open up on country pavement when I want to get home quick. And the 589's were the one's I was leaning towards. I may just get them for utility anyways with Cwheels and interchange with the stockers.

Dustanko-- I have 589 M/T's on my Foreman. They are a great all 'round tire EXCEPT on high speed pavement. Above 40MPH things get interesting, and scary! Also noticed, at low speeds(under 5MPH) on hard pack and pavement, you get somes vibes out of them. It goes away over 5MPH. You wife or g.f. mite like those low speed vibes!!!LOL.
