I'm upgrading my rims to 7 x 12 ITP C series and my tires to 26" Mud Bugs on my 01 SP 500 HO. I need to know what thickness wheel spacers I need. I don't have the tires mounted yet but using my calibrated eyeball it looks like the tires will rub the tie-rod-ends. If so how thick will I need to make my wheel spacers? As usual your help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I didn't use any spacers on mine. I've heard of people using a few washers on the studs but I didn't. I have about 3/8 clearance and haven't had any problems. Don't know if your backset is different on your rims I got ITP chromes on mine.

I will be getting the tires mounted this week some time so I won't know for sure until that happens. If spacers are required I was hoping to get a jump on getting them made so as not to cut into riding time. Scrambler22 thanks for your comments hopefully mine is the same as yours and spacers are not needed.

 

I put those same rims, along with the Rawhides on my son's 02 Sportsman 500. No rubbing, and I didn't use any spacers.
