Beadlocks, larger tire fitments, and terrain-specific tread for Maverick R, Maverick X3, Defender & Commander — jump to your model below.
Maverick R and Maverick R RX come stock on 15-in. wheels with 30-in. tires, while the X RS trim steps up to 16-in. beadlock wheels wrapped in 32-in. tires. Can-Am rates the chassis for up to 35-in. tires without rubbing the tall-knuckle A-arms, so most owners upgrade to close that gap — bigger tires for more clearance and float, or true beadlock wheels for lower pressures and less risk of debeading at speed.
If you have a base Maverick R or R RX, ask your dealer about stepping up to the 16-in. beadlock wheel package used on the X RS — it's a straightforward factory swap that keeps the same 6-lug pattern and bolt-on fitment.
X3 comes stock on 14-in. wheels with 28–29-in. tires depending on trim, already sized for the platform's wide stance and long-travel suspension. Owners typically upgrade for one of two reasons: moving to a true beadlock wheel to run lower pressures on rocky or sandy terrain without debeading, or stepping up to a 30-in.-plus tire for more float and cushion at speed.
Can-Am's accessory catalog offers a factory beadlock wheel option for trims that didn't come with one standard — worth checking with your dealer first if you want to stay within factory warranty terms.
Defender ships with 27-in. tires on 14-in. wheels — sized for towing and payload stability rather than aggressive off-road clearance. Most upgrades here pair a mild lift with a taller, more aggressive mud or all-terrain tire, since Defender's utility geometry means tire choice has a direct effect on towing feel and load rating.
Can-Am's factory accessory catalog includes a matched wheel-and-tire package sized to work with the factory 2-in. lift kit — the safest way to size up without affecting your towing rating.
Commander splits time between trail riding and utility work, and its stock wheel and tire package reflects that middle ground. Most owners upgrade toward a more aggressive all-terrain or mud tire for better trail grip, or a leveling kit paired with a taller tire for added ground clearance without changing the factory bolt pattern.
Ask your dealer about Can-Am's factory wheel-and-tire accessory package for Commander before going aftermarket — it's a direct bolt-on that keeps everything within factory spec.
