The 02 Griz comes stock with aluminum rims, and the 27", 9.75" fronts and 12"rears mount up with no problem. You might be interested in this review. http://www.atving.com/editor/review/...law/review.htm

Will let you know, but I've asked a lot of questions on other forums, and the Claws are what the serious mudders use in the south if they have to ride any distance to the mudholes.They say the Outlaws rides to rough on hardpack, and wears to fast.

The only thing im woried about is breaking my cv's. A mud tire test at avtnews.com said these tires pull almost as good as the outlaws and like that link you posted said you need 450cc to turn them. I am getting a lift kit from high lifter that on average gives about 2" so they are going to be on a pretty good agle. But oh well i guess you gotta pay to play. They should be fine though.

Have not heard of the Honda having any cv joint problems with a lift kit and big tires. Ask around on this forum and Highlifter's about that. A bunch of guys are running big tires and lift kits on their Honda's down south in the real serious mud country.
