Anyone happen to know if the wheels / tires from a 2016 Pioneer would fit onto my 2001 Rancher? Front size is the same as stock, rears on the Pioneer are 24x10x12, whereas the Rancher is 24x9x11. I believe the bolt pattern is the same and I thuink they would physically fit, just not sure about the offset. I am thinking of removing the lift kit, and wanted to go back to a slightly less aggressive tire.

Pioneer 1000 is 4/136 bolt pattern (Same wheels as can-am 4/137mm) and wont work. Assuming because you said 24" tires you are talking about a pioneer 500 and they will work other than the rear rims being IRS offset.

Need to flip rears or run 3" of wheel spacers.
3", ouch...! I can hear those wheel bearings whimpering from here :eek
If the outer wheel distance from the bearing is the same with a spacer because of a high inset wheel being used, in comparison to the stock wheels that are high offset, there is no added stress on the bearing. But if you take the stock high outset wheel and add a 3" spacer, now that's trouble.

But the OP is looking to just match the original total axle width, so no added stress (provided spacers are true and mounted on center)

Yeah, it's a 500, but it's not happening. WAY to much interference on the rears. Thanks for the input everyone.

In theory, yes your right.. In practice unfortunately it's wrong, tried tested and proven. I enjoy working things like this out, the load (assuming the wheel centre stayed inline with the bearing as you say) would be 20% increase (at the wheel stud) for every inch after 1 1/4". So, assuming my calculation is correct (I may be wrong, in only human) your safe to do the above up to 1 1/4".
