Has anyone else, put these wheels on their P650? I just got mine from East Ky. and the bolt pattern is perfect but the center of the rim rubs, on the hub of the quad, just by one stud. The other three go on perfect. I talked to East Ky. and they said I should be ok, to grind the wheel down about a 16th or 8th to make it fit.
Just curious if anyone else has had this problem. I don't think making that small of an adjustment on the rim will affect anything, but I'm kinda nervous about taking a grinder to a set of $100/ea rims!
Thanks!

Buckeye-- Your wheels locate on the hubs. The center hole SHOULD just slip over the shoulder machined into the center of the hub/flange. The lug bolts/nuts only hold the whole mess to the hub. Let me know if you don't understand what I am talking about. You are right, I too would be upset if they didn't fit PERFECTLY, after spending $100/wheel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You riding WNF Sunday? I am .

Yeah I understand what you are saying, but one part of the wheel, rubs, and I've rotated the wheel to a different stud, still rubs in the same place on the wheel. I'm probably just gonna grind it down about a 16th. Sucks though, ITP will be hearing from me.

RUBS? Which end, frt. or rear axle? Does the inside of the wheel rub the caliper, or something? Or does the wheel run out(wobble from side to side)???? I am not understanding. You might want to call me at work, we'll discuss it.

Just wondering, I live in Eastern Ky. and I have never heard of this place. Where exactly is it located. I've tried finding a web site, no luck.

Front wheel, center hole of the wheel is too tight on the flange of the hub. It's not a clearance problem with a larger tire. Hub is kinda L-shaped with the bottom of the L having the stud sticking up out of it. The upper portion of the L (on the hub) is rubbing the center hole of the wheel. It's like the center hole is not perfectly round or something. But it's the same spot on the wheel and BOTH wheels on the front are just like that.
Mike, email me your work number, don't have that here at work.

CORRECTION: _ NOT the wrong wheels. The wheels are defective. The center hole is not "CENTERED" the dealer has check all of their stock and ALL of them are bad. Talking to ITP about it now, I may not be able to get these wheels for a while, if at all.

F*ck me. I just installed a set and have the same problem. I am not surprised to see that ITP no longer lists the Magnums on their web site. I hope my supplier or ITP provides an acceptable solution to my "issue". I don't like how the front end feels and I have no confidence in this setup now. I would have ordered the C series had I known about this.
