Hey Ticster, did you get tires? I've heard good things about the terabytes. If you go to photos, Idiot posted photos of his R with air intake and terabytes on stock rims.

Hey Ticster, how wide are you with those wheels and tires? I'm worried my trailer (6x10) might not work. Right now I can't shut the ramp, Talon 10'4" My RZR just fits with fractof an inch on both sides 70" with 31x10.50 on method wheels.

How wide does that make you with that setup?
The wheel pictured is on our Wildcat Sport SE. We have the same offset as stock. OMF can make any offset you need. Like I said they are not cheap but they are awesome wheels and awesome people to deal with.

Fireman377, how do you like the 32's? Any problem with the low end? Like a couple other guys in the forum, I went with the Tusk Aramid Terrabite (Kevlar) Rocky Mountain ATV 30x10x 15. They have a 32" but I was worried it might be too tall. One went with Tusk wheels, one put them on stock rims, I am putting them on System 3 bead locks.

Normally, I run beadlocks...~ however, for this set up, I went with the new Method 409's with the new Bead Grip retention. The weight is amazing like around 12 pounds. I also ran 31" Terra Masters (10ply) because of the weight (less than 37 pounds). The 31" Kanati TerraMasters perform very well in Moab which is primarily our riding area, and give a superior handling in faster speeds than 32" tires. Here are some picts:

A single review on Rocky Mountain ATV says the 15x7 weights 12 lbs. An article on UTVguide.net says the 14x7 weights 14.2 lbs. Method does not list it. I wish there was a way to tell the actual weight before buying. If they weigh 14.2 lbs, I'm not sure the difference is enough to not get bead locks (for me, at least). I do want to keep overall weight down, though.
I did not weigh mine at the time, but they seemed very light mounting them. I can say THAT I did weigh a set of Racelines, 17lbs, with this same tire set up, and the Methods feel far more agile and nimble in sand and tight trails. I could tell a big difference driving them. If weight is your main issue, I highly recommend OMF wheels. They can get you a set of beadlocks under that 14 pound range.

I put the Tusk Beadlock 15" with 30" Terrabites and they fit with plenty of room. I was worried about the 32" fitting but I'm sure they would fit but the extra weight might be a deterrent. The 30" Terrabites are slightly oversized and the 32" Terrabites are slightly undersized (info from an RM-ATV Employee). My brother-in-law has the 32" terabytes on his RZR and as you can see my 30" look the same size.

Brian, here you go, this is an actual weight of the OMF beadlock 15" Diameter, with all the bolts and valve stem. This model is the FL1 and can be color matched Talon. I personally, would have it powder coated (black/red no silver) after all machining to avoid the raw aluminum look from fading. Also, it's not made in China!

Thanks for the pics! I'm thinking about 32 inch Carnivores or 32 inch Terra Hooks, but I am also considering 30s. I actually have not done a lot of riding as I currently own two Pioneer 500s. I find myself most excited about climbing rocky hills, so I know the bigger diameter will be an asset there. At the same time, I know that I will not tolerate rubbing. Most comments I've read about 32s on the X model is that they get "slight" rubbing. Kind of hard to tell what exactly that means. I want it to be clear on full lock, full compression. I am wondering if the leading edge of the wheel well could be molded back out of the way with a heat gun???
@scottymac I have seen the OMF. They are probably a little pricier than I want to spend.... They look awesome, though.

I'll check tomorrow about molding the wheel well back but my guess would be it probably won't work. As far as 32" tires... there is no standard for how the tire manufacturers measure them. I seams every 32" tire is a different size. I know the 32" Carnivores are big (true 32) and my guess is they would scrub. Next thing to consider is how heavy some of the large tires are and what kind of stress that will put on the transmission. I'm pretty happy with my choice so far as they are not too much heavier than OEM and I also have 14.5" of ground clearance now..
