Has anyone tried Taking there rear wheels on there Sp500 and putting them on the front and the fronts on the rear....

that would help with riding the river near me becuase it would lift the front up out of the water and let me keep on truckin....

I bet there is not enough room in the front wheel well to take those tires but would the rims be able to be exchanged?

if you sit on the front rack of your quad facing backwards, putting your feet on the pegs where they normally go, you can drive pretty easily in reverse. it's like driving a forkilift, rear steering. it's how i load it it my truck. it also amuses the neighbors.

Hey clindst I would say you would have no problem with it I have Blackwaters 26x12x12 on all fours of my sportsman. The fronts do stick out but I don't have any lift kit on with no trouble at all except watching out for the flying mud the BW's really grip, I would watch out though if you do change them out when climbing steep stuff with the smaller tires on the back it could create a real stability problem let us know how it works out...
