Anyone know how wide I can go with stock rims. I would like to go 25-10-12 on the front and 25-12-12 on the rear or maybe 26".Please give me some input before I blow a bunch of money and find out they won't fit.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

Does everyone run stock tires or what? This is a pretty lame website if noone is willing to share basic Information that would be of some help to people. A reply would be appreciated.

 

I know that on the older Foreman quads (the 400 models). You had to get wider rims to be able to run the 12" wide tires. Check out recreationtires.com, give them a call and ask what rim width that they mount 12" tires on (or 10&quot for the front. Then go out and measure your rims. If it is a newer model, you can probably do it, but a 1-800 free phonecall will answer your questions in less than 5 minutes.

 

10" wide front and 12" wide rear will fit on stock rims in 25", 26", 27" or 28".... I run Blackwater XT's in 27x10x12 fr and 27x12x12 rr.....

 

Thanks for the help guys. Now I can start the big dilemma of what brand of tire to buy!!

 

THe 12 inch wide tires will fit on your stock rims with no problems.

 

Well what knid of riding do you do??
If it is just normal trail riding with some mud now and then I would suggest the bearclaws or dirtdevils.
If you drive more mud but still on hardpack trails then get gators, mud bugs or 589's
If its pure mud you drive then get highlifter outlaws or vampires.

 

I ride everything. In western Alberta Canada, I am almost in the rocky mountains and in one day I will go from riding mud holes to climbing steep hills to crawling sled trails to covering huge areas of muskeg. All without putting 50 miles on my bike.
