Default suzuki kq 400 fs w/dtw rattlesnakes 27in kenda exc.

New to the site I have a 08 Suzuki KQ 400 FS.. I ordered 27x10x12 front and 27x12x12 rear Kenda Executioners on Douglas Rattlesnake 12x7 all the way around.
I was wondering if anyone has a similar tire and wheel package on there 400 and what type of power loss should I expect. Also the dealer said this tire and wheel combo would fit fine no lift kit is this true or am I screwed..

Well since no one seems to know the answer I called Suzuki today and Kenda they will fit fine no lift kit required also they said I should not expect a significant power loss but if I feel like I have lost power to jet my carb and maybe a high flow air filter.. Now I am just waiting for my wheels to come in I will post some pics when I have it all done it could be a couple of weeks on the wheels I was told today..

Your new tires are 8% larger than stock so you can expect to have 8% more speed at the top end. That's the good news. The bad news is they are harder to turn and you just lost 8% of your torque at the low end. But that's okay if you don't do any work that requires it. I'd like to know how it turns out because they look like awesome mud tires. If I rode 90% mud instead of 1% I'd buy Executioners too.

As soon as I get them in im going to post pics and a review of what my experience with this combo was. It really seem to be taking a while to get the wheels in stock. As of yesterday it could be another 2 weeks..... Thanks for that info though glad to see someone here actually willing to share information.

Well after an hour of trying to post photos here they are.. They fit great plenty of clearance could have went with 28in. and still had room.. No noticeable power loss rides awsome not much heavier than my stock stuff couple pounds all together..
