how large of a tire will it turn without a large drop in performance hp wise? i was thinking 26x12x12 all the way around or 27x12x12 they would be on a aftermarket wheels for a wider offset also. i do alittle of everything creeks, mud & trails.

 

Anything bigger than stock will lower your speed and power. As for wider on the front it not only looks bad but makes steering difficult.

 

We have 27" XTRs on our Rhino, but if I had it to do over again I would not go bigger than 26", and may even stay with the stock 25" size. The Rhino has lousy ground clearance, but it is also geared too high, even in low range, and can sometimes struggle to get the tires turning from a standstill. Our Rhino does alot better now that it has an 11:1 Wiseco piston, and a HotCams torque cam, but even with the engine mods it still sometimes doesn't have enough torque to turn the tires over. And it runs alot stronger than it did stock.
