From the shopping I did I found that 26" was the top on stock rims. The 27" tires were on after-market rims. As for width I think you can go up to 12.5" rear...not sure up front though.

There are definately people better informed than I, to specify the right answers.

Search and ask Gregisms. He is "Mr. Sportsman". He knows the mods and the capabilities of the bike very thoroughly. Check out his pics, also.

It is hard to say which tire will definitely fit without rubbing in the front. I did no research which tire will fit the stock rims, But I do beleive you can go 27 Tall 12 wide in the rear, and 25 Tall 9 wide in the front. You can probably run 26 tall 9 wide in the front with aome tires, but not with others. The rubbing would probably be minor though. If you go 10 wide in the front, you may have to use washers as spacers to keep the front right tire from rubbing the tie tod end.
