26x9x14 tires on 14x8 rims

I decided to replace my 11 inch rear tires with 9 inch on the rears and I bought a 26x 9x 14 inch tire and a 14x6 inch rim for spare. That puts same size tire all the way around my thinking was i could swap tires around for longer wear on occassion and stay a little cleaner to boot. The rear rims are 8 inch wide. I liked the look of the 11 inch tires better on those 8 inch rims now the 9 inch sidewall seems too tight on the 8 inch rims.

Have I created any unforseen problems?

I would think it may be a little more unstable at higher speeds and off camber situations but don't know for sure I personally have never tried it.I think Groundhog runs the same size all the way around on his RZR but it has the long travel like an S

I dont know....theres one way to find out. Take her out!

Roger, there are people who do that and have no problems, and you can rotate tires if the offset is the same. usually the tire is 2" wider than the rim

I ran 27.5 x 9's on my 09 they worked great. Less front end push. I thought they tracked and bit better. ATV outfitters sent me 11 rears there fine,but really liked 9's all around. But on a rex rear rim is wider and won't work on the front.

Seems like the 9 wide on the 8 wide wheel may be pushing it a little as far as the sidewall being more in harms way. If the tread don't look much narrower than the wheels, I would say give it a try.

I use oem front rims all around. Been doing it for a year or so. 26x9x12. Don't know why manufactures use a wider tire in back. Make it look pretty I guess. For more info check this thread on the rzr forum.

On stock sport rex rims,rears spread the 9 in tire about 11 in wide. With 11's on the rear can feel more front end push.

thanks for the input guys.... yea my teryx rims are wider on the back. I bought a front rim for the spare and when i rotate i am going to have to break them off the rim to move them.....I am going to give it a try.
