Yeah they might be a little to heavy for it, I had a 500 foreman and the 27'' mudbugs almost seemed to much. I would turn them in first and some times 2end. You might be beter off going with a 26'' zilla. a buddy of mine had 28'' zillas on a rubicon and it turned them just really slow.

depends how big, mine in skeg wasent too bad, i think only twice i had it where they wouldent spin the pic is one (not many would be able )and the other was in skegg but there were trees jamed in the lugs. after driving my dads 07 500 (475cc) forman i think they have more power than my rubicon, stk to stk

oh and i got bord one day so i tried 2-29.5x12x12 outlaws (43lbs atire)just on the back of my dads 07 500 , i only got a chance to try them in a pond, lots of water a little bit of mud , they would spin but it took a lot of gas. the water was up to the top of the rim but it would still water wheele good

Our grizzly 700 has been loaded down with a 580ft3 trailer overflowing with wet sand..... Wouldn't recommend it, throttle to the bar in low and the front end skippin goin up a slight grade and barrely moving any where. And going downhill was bad,, was thinkin ok a very short hill,, but it has a turn in it,, the back end just slid in the direction the trailer was pointin and the front end went the other way,, straight into the brush that it. SO... long story short I'm savin up my pennies for a prowler 1000. For some x tra weight and mmph.

I know it doesn't have anything to do with the thread but I like sharin life experiences...

Hey Lyle,i think those are some heavy tires on a 500..IMO..Best would be compare the stock weight of tires and rims then see how much the Zilla's and new rims weight,might shock you how much heavier they are...Good Luck
