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.
Thanks in advance!
James
