Got the 2022 Sportsman 1000xp Ultimate Trail on order. Need new wheels and rubber, keeping OEM's in the trailer for a spare set on away from home trips if I have a massive blowout.
So I wanted bealclaw HTR's in 27'' on 14'' beadlock rims but they only do 12" tires on 14" rims. So now I have to go 28's to get 14's.
There is the issue of rim width. From what I understand, your tire can go 1" beyond the rim width? So if my tires are 9" in the front and 11" in the rear, I can run 14x8 rims in the front and 14x10 in the rear, do I have that correct? 14x9 and 14x11 rims seem hard to find especially in what I like in a beadlocks. With bead locks should I try to find exact size to match my rubber 14x9 & 14x11 or is 1" smaller ok?
Then there is an issue of offset, what is the stock offset 5+2?? This guy in the link below went narrower on tires 8's in the front 10's in the rear, also narrower than stock offset @ 6+1 and then went to 50" overall width instead if about 48" stock. Now 5+2 seems to be a more common offset than 6+1 now that might put me at 52" or more? I really don't care, I am going to put fender flares on my machine, I just want the right offset to clear my tie rods and springs and not rub. So what are my offset options?
Also 28" Bear claw HTR's with no lift, people say they clear the rear floorboard fender fine (not opposed to trimming) but what about the whole underside of the wheel well when you bottom out your suspension??
What is my bolt pattern 4/156?
Any or all input is greatly appreciated, thanks guys!

New shoes on the 850, pics from 26" to 28"...
Ordered some new wheels and tires for my 850. I went with the 14" STI HD3 narrow 6+1 offset wheels, and 28" bearclaw HTR's. After having HTR for the last 1500 miles in 26", I knew I wanted to get the same tire again, just larger for a little more cushion and being able to run slightly lower...
