I have a pair of 8 inch wide ITP steel rims on the rear of my warrior. Currently I have 22-11x10 tires on them. Would I be able to go to a 21 or 22-12-10 tire? I am missing the ground clearance I thought I wouldnt miss!!! The tires I would like to get only come in the 12 inch width. Thanks to all who can help!!!

I don't know how wide of tires your Warrior can handle without rubbing, but don't worry about them fitting on the wheels-they'll be fine. I've got 27x12x12 Tri-Claws on the rear of my 'Cat, mounted on the stock rims-they're something like 6.5x12. So, an 8" wide rim will have no problems holding a 12" wide tire.

Best of luck,

Mike

making your tire wider isnt going to help the clearance, you need to go bigger, get 24's or 25's
