I'm trying to decide what or even if I want new wheels. I went for the bone stock model because I knew I would scratch the pretty paint on the LE model and didn't know if I wanted the extended a-arms on the s model. From what I know so-far, haulers on the rear and stock tires on the front will get you where you want to go. The rest is for pretty pictures... besides, the 50" allows you to go down the tighter trails rather than extending your wheels out so far that you can't follow your buddies down the trails.
It does have clearance issues with the roll cage. Since the ATV rider sits in the center, the rider can dodge the branches, or has minimal contact with items just over the wheels and fenders. However the driver and passenger on the side x side have more frequent contact with branches. Still not a very big issue, just an observation and possibly a few more scratches than an ATV would get.
I saw one or two with paddles on the front, but I'm not sure how effective they really are or if they just yank the steering wheel around.
There was a guy I was talking to the night before about their RZRs. They didn't say much except that one had a chip and the other didn't and the one that didn't couldn't make it up the hill very well until they got the chip... That being said, once I lowered the pressure to 3psi from the 8psi they put in at the dealership I didn't have any issues getting around. In addition to getting familiar with how the machine responds to throttle and steering response in and out of 4x4. I might go with the chip just to see what it has to offer on hill climbs. Other than that I think the stock 60mph is pleanty fast enough for me with the two of us in it. It can scare the chit out of you and your passenger if you try hard enough.
