I am new to the forums and just purchased a 2013 Sportsman 550 X2. It is pretty much new and only has 130 miles on it. I am in the process of buying better wheels/tires for it and am having trouble finding specific X2 info for mine. I have done a bit of searching.
Locally, I could get a used set of radial outlaws on 2014 RZR 1000 wheels for $350. Those are 14×10 wheels. I believe my atv has 14×8 in front and 14×10 in back. Could I get these RZR wheels/tires to work on my atv? It sounds like my X2 may have a bit more clearance than some of the other sportsmans from what I read so I’m not sure if I would need a 2" lift for it or not. Also, I think I heard that the offset would be off with them as well.
I found a link to a guy installing a lift for 30" tires but it appears that they already fit prior to the lift. His ATV wasn’t a X2 though either.
My plan is to keep my factory wheels for use around town but use this set of wheels/tires if I plan on going mudding with friends. They wouldn’t be an everyday tire so I wouldn’t mind cheap wheels.
I could get the tires alone for $250 or the wheels/tires for $350. Please help me figure out the best option for this.

i’m in the market for a new set of wheels and was curious what offset everyone is running on their XPs? i have a sportsman 1000 and was looking to pick up something close to stock or slightly wider but not too wide. one of the issues i’m faced with is how close the tire is to the hideous factory muffler. if i go with a more aggressive tire, i may actually need to go wider.
i’d like to go with a beadlock wheel but the only two that i like are the STI HD5 and the MSA M21 Loks. I’ve heard the MSAs are a heavy wheel compared to others and was curious if anyone had an idea how much they weigh and how much the HD5s weigh per wheel?? thanks for any help!

Help! I just up graded tires on my 500 Touring to Maxxis Big Horns Radial’s from the factory bias tires. and not sure if I should still go with the 5psi as the old tires or not.
