New to the site and wanted to share some information on new tires and wheels that I put on A few weeks ago. Hopefully to help answer some questions if anybody chooses to go this route on a sportsman 570. I have a 2015 Sportsman 570 (base) that I removed the stock steel wheels and Carlisle AT 489’s. I upgraded to ITP SS212 wheels with 4+3 offset and Maxxis Zilla tires, no lift, wheel spacers or clutch. I went from stock front tires 25×8-12 and rear tires 25×10-12, I went up 2” and 1” wider Maxxis Zilla front 27×9-12 and rear 27×11-12. I have no rubbing and the tires and wheels fit good fit. Here is a little information on the difference in weight / width and ground clearance.
Carlisle AT489 front tire weight on stock wheel 23 lbs
Carlisle AT489 rear tire weight on stock wheel 29 lbs
Maxxis zilla front tire weight on ITP SS212 30 lbs
Maxxis zilla rear tire weight on ITP SS212 34 lbs
Both of these weights were done with 5 pounds of air pressure.
For the people that ride on trails of 50” you’ll be glad to know, you should still fit Front width is 49-3/4” and rear width is 50-1/16”.
Ground clearance front 11-3/4”
Ground clearance rear 13-1/4”
Polaris says in the owners manual that the stock ground clearance is 11” I’m not exactly sure where they measure from. My measurements are center of the arms on the front and rear tires. Hope this helps.
