Why would anyone want to do that?

More sidewall, better, cheaper tire options.

 

[tanglefoot69]

Better ride as well.

Yep alot of good deals on 12" wheels. But not having any luck finding any info on doing this mod.

As stated, it would be better, but IIRC the person that did it say even after grinding it down there was only a fraction of an inch between the inner rim and the outer part of the caliber.

If that's the case it wouldn't work anyways. Bc to big of a chance to wedge a rock in there. Thxs

Found it! At least the one I was thinking off, its the bottom post on this page; post #140. Gotta love photographic memory!

IMO, seeing how much gouging has occurred on the inner rim of my '14s I'm just going to stick with them cause I have a feeling if I went '12s I'm going to rip the back end off or lose control when a rock gets caught up in there.

Edit: Helps if I give ya the link huh... http://www.polarisatvforums.com/forums/polaris-scrambler-xp-1000/50893-1000-14.html

How? Who looks at brake calipers when they are shopping for an ATV? lol. And I doubt (if done correctly) you would notice 3/16 of an inch missing with the rims on it. Maybe with a sharp eye you'd notice the smaller rims but the avg Joe more then likely wouldn't.

Why would anyone want to do that?

Because 14" rims SUCK!!!!!

 

[bsutton.5]

I wonder is u could switch out the rotors and brake caliper off a value line to work?

He's not being sarcastic, they do suck. The difference between 12in and 14in is 2 inches right? Now take a tire that is 26in but comes in both a 12in and 14in rim size. So on the radius of the 14in rim that means you are loosing 1in of sidewall; which means you are loosing extra "cushion" while running the trails and rocks. Same as a car running low profile tires vs the normal passenger tires to an extent; the ride becomes much harsher and firm.

 

[bobx2]

Low profile tires and offroading do not go together. When was the last time you saw a serious offroad machine with low profile tires? Never. There are multiple reasons they don't do that. That has been my biggest complaint with the XP.
