can a rancher turn 27in blackwaters on the rear w/o engine mods? im either thinking about:

front:24/8/12
rear: 26/12/10

or

front: 26/8/12
rear: 27/12/10

that either going up 1inchs or 2? which would be better for muddin and trails? i think i should get 26s on the rear.
also, will i need a lift kit for 26s? what about 27s? i wanna get a lift kit anyway but i cant find one for 2x4s.

 

i am 99.9999% sure that a 27" tire will not fit on a rancher without rubbing on the fender flares withour a lift. my 25"s are close, 26" would fit but 27" would need a lift.

 

I have 26" Blackwaters (26X12X12 Rear and 26X8X12 Front) on the 4X4. They are on ITP Magnum aluminum rims and they look real sexy, but this is about the limit for the little 350. The 2X4 is geared higher than the 4X4, so you might have trouble turning a 27", especially in mud. Fender clearance is good with the 26s.
