Hey.
Right now I have an '03 Honda Rancher and a '05 YFZ. My Rancher is running fine, but it need some attention. Some of the things I've planned on doing to it are: New Tires, New Plastic, (or at least fix the fenders...Anyone know where I can get those screws to fix them, as some of them are missing) New skidplates, and New brakes. It also needs racks, but not too terribly. This is my situation....
Tires: The stock tire messurements on my Rancher are: Front: 24" x 8" x 12", Back: 24" x 9" x 11". I have found some tires that I like a lot and have heard good things about them. Greenball Gators.I can get a whole new set for $52.99, however the dimensions are 25" x 8" x 12". As you can see, these tires don't exactly match the dimensions of my rims, only by 1 inch in some way. Would this 1" matter or do I need to find some other ones? For my front tires, the Gators would be 1" to HIGH. For my rear, the would be 1" inch too long, 1" too skinny, and 1" too high. Does this matter or would need to find some new tires? Do you have any tire suggestions for my Rancher (as in any good tires with same measurements)?
Also, please help me with the screws on the fenders...
Thanks alot guys,
ML

 

The 1st # is the height 2nd width 3rd is the rim size. You have to get the right rim size for it to fit. As far as the screws the just the clips right? you can find them on ebay. I just installed the warn 424 and rode it in my alley and can tell a big diff. already i love it.

 

The plastic clips can be purchased from the dealer in bags of 10 or so for a reasonable price. I kept a few bags around just in case.

The rancher will handle larger tires, but the the rims are going to be your first issue. The rim diameter has to be the same, as was stated. So either find some different tires or look for some new wheels.

I got a set of 26" mudlites on 12" itp c series wheels and they were absolutely great.
