- Finally installing some parts I've had laying around for my 2012 Polaris Ranger 500 EFI. Follow me in this video as I install used RZR wheels with 27 in tires, 2 in wheel spacers plus an LED light bar.
In this series I'll install a street legal kit and go through the process to get my Ranger street legal.
Stay tuned for new videos for the CT70, CJ5, Polaris Ranger, and more. Thanks for watching!

![HOW TO INSTALL A LIGHT BAR - [Polaris Ranger Midsize]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TeYYf7wGzCE/mqdefault.jpg)
I have an 06 500 EFI. Rocky Mountain ATV did not think a 27" tire would clear the fender and wheel wells. Asked about a 26" in the Terrabite which seem to be a very good choice for an all around tire but they only make the 26" in a 14" rim size. Have not been able to find 14" rims at an affordable price. There are tons of Rzr takeoffs available but the least expensive in this area start about $500 for the set. more than I wanted to spend for this old of a machine
Yeah, this is the easiest and cheapest wheel tire upgrade I could find. I needed something more comfortable to replace my tractor tires I’d been running. In the end, I’m very happy with how they turned out. I can’t remember what I spent but it wasn’t anywhere near $500. Just have to be patient and see what pops up. Have you found anything cheaper since posting this?
No, I went with the 27s. Have been happy with them since
I know this is a little older video but I have a 2010 midsize and looking to change to Razor rims also. Could you explain the lug issue you were referring to? Are you saying you have to change the actual stud in the spacers for some reason or just get the proper lug nut that fit the Razor rims correctly? Thank you for taking the time to share this!
The new spacers are thicker then the old Ranger rims so the original wheel studs need to be replaced with longer ones. They just hammer out so they’re easy to replace.
Where did you get the wheel spacers and what size are they
Thanks
I’m not an affiliate or anything. This is what I installed in the vid. Been good so far but my property is pretty small so I’m not putting on too many miles. a.co/d/5VNumIN
Did the executioners bog you 500 down at all? I'm looking at a 2008 500 and the Kenda's seemed affordable but didn't want anything to heavy
They’re not great on anything hard pack because of the vibration. It’s tolerable though. No bogging. They’re unstoppable in loose dirt and mud.
@@thehobbymechanic47 thanks for the reply I may have to keep looking for a tire lol I just want something that's good all around
Did you need the spacers with those wheels or they were just for the stance ?
I used them just for the look initially. The new tires rub on the plastic inner fender wells with out adding forward a-arms. I believe the spacers help the rubbing a tad when fully locked in a turn but I haven’t measured any to support that theory.
Nice! where did you get the 2" spacers?
You can find just about anything on Amazon… Here’s a link: 4X156 Wheel Spacers 2 Inch 3/8-24 Studs, ATV Wheel Spacers Compatible with Polaris Ranger, RZR, Diesel, Sportsman, Xplorer ||| Kawasaki 300B Lakota, KSF 250 Mojave, KXT 250 Tecate www.amazon.com/dp/B07C73V7B7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_H87EPEYXCCJEERSBS651?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
@@thehobbymechanic47 this link has amazon saying it won't fit my 2020 ranger 500. know why that might be?
Looks like they probably changed the Ranger lug pattern around 2009?
@@thehobbymechanic47 this is my first time adding spacers so I'm learning!
Did you do a video for the other stuff you added?
I haven’t got around to adding the street legal kit yet. I got side tracked with some other projects. I’ll be completing the street legal kit in the next month or so.
What length light bar did you go with?
I went with 42”. Only problem is how close I mounted it to my head. I need to move it away from me a bit so I don’t hit my forehead on it.
Thanks! The fit looks good I have the same ranger and been thinking about a light bar and size. Appreciate the reply!!
Nice , Where is your street legal kit from
It’s a complete kit made by Tusk. They’re found on most UTV sites like Rocky Mountain ATV and even on Amazon.
Lift supension?
Just stock suspension at this point. It rubs at full turns but nothing crazy. I think it could use a lift or some a arms.
is this machine midsize
Yes
......and these RZR tires are very noisy on pavement. Really noisy....
