Ok, I know I've asked this more than once, and I've gotten a million emails trying to explain it but I still dont understand it.
So just answer this question with a yes or no. My stock tires/rims are 22x7-11 on front, 22x11-9 on back. On the front, If I order a kit with wheels and tires, does the wheel diameter have to be the same? like if I buy 22x7-10 to go on the front, will it fit without changing hubs??

You can always change the wheel diameter. The tire size on 4x4's has to keep the same ratio though. Meaning that if your front tires are an inch shorter than the rears, then you need to make sure they keep that ration. Say if you run 24" front and 25" rear and you want bigger tires, then you need to get 25" front and 26" rear (or 26" &27"). As far as new wheels go, you just need to make sure to get the correct bolt pattern.

Reconrider, I am new to the ATV scene as well but learned a few things about tires last week. I would only add to Bonner's 'yes' that I THINK hub/bolt patterns are different for different brand atv's, so when ordering a kit you must specify which brand/model you have. If this is not correct, someone please let us know.

ok, cool. I think I'm going to get some Puresport Bandits since they make 22 rears now. Or Maxxis Razr's. If anybody has used these tires, let me know how they work
Thanks.
