does anyone have a 2008 rancher 420 with a vipermax 3000 winch and kenda bearclaws 25x8x12 front tires? just wondering if the tires rub on the winch motor ? talked to motoalliance and they said there are no isuses with the stock tires but couldnt give me a definate answer on the bearclaws, thanks for the replies and any specific info you could give me on this setup,,,,,thanks

 

stocks are 24x8x12, as long as you didnt go any wider of a tire i would think you will be fine. unless you changed the rims? many aftermarket rims have a diffirent tire offets to them that might create an issue.

 

i have the itp delta black rims

 

does the winch stick out the frame? my 27" dont scrub the frame on my smaller 300,but I had to remve the inner fenders......i could see how close they come to the frame...might help give you a idea (there on stock rims)

 

the offset on aftermarket rims is better than the honda stock rims, the itp's will move the tire out. makeing the tires spaced farther apart. i think you will be ok.

but if your in doubt take a few minites and mack it up, place the winch on the frame and make sure there wont be any rubbing when you turn the tires.
