Has anyone started a thread on running bigger tires for the X3? What fits? What works? What needs to be done? Clutch job? Lift? I couldn't get the search function to work. I'd like to run bigger tires on a DS.

I have read through this whole post and want to be sure I understand correctly. So I apologize for my ignorance as this is my first SXS and have always rode ATVs, but a new child changes your style.

I have a 2018 X3 Max Turbo 64 120hp". I assume it is a base since the shocks do not piggyback onto the cage and it has 28" Bighorn 2.0s.

Now just so I am clear to get a 32" tire on it would require a 5+2 wheel and it would not clear on the factory wheels?

I would like to go bigger tire, but do not want to be breaking things all the time. Primary reason for larger tire is here in Arkansas the forest service roads have water bars in them to prevent erosion and after a test this weekend it is clear I do not have clearance without rubbing the belly.

I appreciate the help as I get acclimated to this new world of SXS.

I am planning to run the Maxxis Liberty 32" tires which it looks like according to Maxxis measure out around 32.4" or so. My concern it looks like is the rubbing of the rear trailer arms from my reading, but that could be my misunderstanding. I was just reading about adjusting the ride height here on the forum. Thanks for your feedback.

Ended up going with the new UTV BFG KM3's 30x10x15 on DWT Sector Zero's, anyone with a 64" model (2018 X3 MAX Turbo R) check this out. I'll repost some pics once everything is mounted and the ride level has been set. If your in AZ Ride Now Surprise is doing "Free" X3 suspension adjustments on the 29TH of Sept.

I have about 200 miles on the stock bighorns and there getting torn up on the local trails around the house time for a upgrade!

So many choices I'm going 32's want to keep the stock wheels no need to keep the bighorns mounted up so 14" limits the choices a bit being in socal I'm mostly in the desert with lots of rocky trails around the house with some high speed fire roads with loose rock...... I'm leaning towards the liberty's with a flatter profile in big ruts the bighorns tend to wander a lot I want to get rid of that! I also want to keep the weight down so it's easier on rotating parts the only tire I see lighter is the tensor's I don't want to spend 250 bucks a tire!

Any deals out there on the liberty's seems 175 is the going price on the 32's ??????
