Is anybody running any aftermarket rims and tires on there new xp?if so is there any differance in the hubs or anything,i know they use metric lug nuts but i also heard they take a special rim but im not sure if they are just talking about the factory offset rims and i do know they have to be 14 ich to clear the brakes.Pics of your machine would be nice .

 

Look at the Another new XP(850) Owner thread on page two. HIGHOCTANE has put new rims and tires on his machine. Start from the end and work back it's a long one. I just ordered some Mud Lite XTR's in 27 9 14 for the front and 27 11 14 for the rears for mine. I'm going to try putting them on the stock rims and see if there is clearance on the rear. I think they will work. they will only be 1/2 in wider than stock from center and it looks like there is over an inch of clearance.
Take care,
Dave

 

To add, there isn't anything special about the aftermarket wheels I have. They are ITP 212's that were on a Ranger. Now the offset isn't the same as factory but most aftermarket wheels aren't the same offset as factory on most machines as far as I know.
You are correct about the lug studs being metric,that just means you need metrc lug nuts. The stock lug nuts are too big in outside diameter to work with ITP wheels.

 

Okay thanks i had heard something about the hubs being different,thats the same combo i want to run also only in black.I have a sunset red xp.
