And yes, they do rub

Yes the 26 inch tires rub in the front and right rear. I was doing some light jumping today and noticed some rubbing on the inner fenders and exhaust heat shield.



Also, for anyone that has taken delivery of their RZR or owned a Polaris, When the bike is idling there is a RPM dependant knock/ringing. maybe this is just a automatic transmission thing i dunno

Hmmm,

Not what I wanted to hear!
Spacers. It's a shame they dont bolt right up without clearance issues. But at least there's a pretty easy fix. You will also gain more stability.

Are you referring to the internal engine knock that's really noticeable at idle? I'm told it's the pushrods and every 700 and 800 I've heard does it to some extent. Especially when hot.
Spacer I dont think will solve the problem there only going to push the tires a few inches then they'll rub on the out side of the body. But most rhinos (ooopppss sorry bad word) with 14 tire rob too a little.

Yeah there is a audible knock/ring, i have listened and think that it is originating internally.

Are those for the RZR? If so, do you have adapter spacers?

Yes I do....good eyes.

Are yours the 1 inch or 1.5 inch? I have a set I bought a few months ago, and I am hoping the offset of the 4/110 being less will somewhat compensate for the width of the spacers. Time will tell since I do not have my RZR yet either. I am considering the Sportlock, since it is much cheaper, but only comes in the 4/110 bolt patterns. I also happen to prefer the smaller center cap too. My adapters are the 1.5 inch, but if the 1 inch come back in stock I will likely go in that direction.
Very nice.
Yep, sorry guys but the 26"s are going to rub a little. try setting the preload adjustment on the shocks a little higher. This will prevent some of the rub but if you really compress the car it will still rub a little. Good news is the little black fender flares in the back are really cheap to replace.

Then the larger Black fender flares that your going to make will also be cheap to replace?
So does this mean that in order to eliminate rubbing all together we need to stay with 25s??? If so, that's a bummer. Those 26ers look great on there.

Here is my input, since it was my bike that was rubbing.

I have the extreme bounty hunters on 14 inch wheels with about +2 inch of offset. I ride very aggressively. Under normal to moderate riding conditions, your not going to have any issues. If you go balls out and get in a lot of "cross-axle" situations, then your going to see the rubbing. I have had a total of 3 incidents where i noticed rubbing. And the only thing worries me is the fronts are rubbing on the floor pan, which could eventually lead to a hold in teh floor
