I am not near my quad and I was wondering of anyone knows what the stock wheel offset is on the 800 efi deluxe wheels. I have a clearance issue with the new tires on the stock rims. I was thinking of ordering ITP ss108's that are 4+3 offset. I am currently hitting the spring on the strut with the front tires. I can without a doubt tell you 9" wide 26" swamp fox plus tires will not fit a stock sportsman 800 with the stock rims. Ideas?

 

most 9" wide tires will all ways have a clearance issue on stock rims. i have type 7 itp's onmine with plenty of room w/ my 9" wide.

 

diesel 10: Sorry I can't help with the offset but a couple solid spacers of 1" (not the stand-offs) would probably do it. You can get them up here in Canada for about $100cdn for the pair. The Swamp Fox Plus tires are of real interest to me. Heard they are good in the mud and also are quite smooth on the trail. Let me know how you make out.

Totun, I can tell you with out a doubt that the Swamp foxes are awesome. My girlfriend put them on her Kodiak and the difference was awesome. Way better than her prior mudlites in the mud and not to noisy or bumpy on hardpack. The only thing I did find it performed less favoriably on was over piled sticks for a bridge. The lugs could not get tracking on the smooth surface and just threw them out.

 

Diesel 10 Thanks for the feedback. I had similar effects with my 589's on my Expedition and got used to "easy on the gas" over the log situation. The 589's would slip off muddy crowns as well. Still interested in the Fox's because overall they seem like a good compromise between a mud tire and fast trail riding. We have allot of rock around here and allot of people complain about the wear on their Mudlites. Let me know how you make out with the new rims or spacers.
