I put 26 in Black waters on a 2002 Honda 350 E.S. Rancher mounted on 12x7 atp delta steel rims They work just fine But could use a little more engine power in 4th and 5th gear. On a Foreman there should be no problems.
Ride on Keep safe.

You can even run 27's if you feel like it. 26's fit without problem.

If you get the DD's X/T post some pictures. I am think about getting them on my Foreman. I was going to get 589's but they've jumped up in price a bit. I don't really want the Mudlites. So that leaves the Mudrunners and DD's. DD's are cheaper.

I put the 26" Dirt Devils on my 04 Rancher 4x4 AT and have not had any problems with clearance, I have noticed some power loss due to the added size but not much. I am happy with the Dirt Devils riding mostly trails with the ocassional mud hole, they also did well in the snow.

It changed my seedometer and odometer about 10%, but now it is right on with my GPS. I guess it was off a little to begin with.
