How do you pics up like the one above?

 

That looks good!!! I have 12's now and wanted to change to 14's when I got the XTR's, but those DO look good as 12's. Those rims appear to be MUCH more off set then the OEM ones. I am ready to get mine!

 

NK711, It sounds like you want the exact same setup as I just got. Check out my pics if you want to see what they will look like on the bike. In my opinion, they make the bike look like a completely different bike. I haven't had the chance to put a lot of miles on them yet but I kind of feel like they actually rode better than the 26" PXT's. I didn't take any measurments but they had to add at least a 2" lift to my bike.

 

YESSIR!!! That's the exact setup that I want. The wife and I went riding over the weekend and we (I) decided that we definately wanted a 2nd bike and that bike should be another X2 with the 800 (for me, but for her if she asks [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] ) The XTR's will be on both bikes if I have my way. Thanks for posting and sharing the pics!

 

Someone (probably engineer) thought about the size of the wheels...
These are some reasons not to modify the wheels.
1 : Shortage of power.
2 : Bigger load on the axes.
3 : a high centre of gravity.
4 : Shorter suspension travel.
You have one of the best ATV in the market. The 500 has more than enough power to carry you where ever you want.
Have fun.
