I got a question about tires, I am do for some new ones now we'v got over 5000km on the OEM tires and its time for some new ones. The original tires are, Front 24x8x12 and the Rear is 24x9x11. I want to put ITP's Mud Lites on and i'm wondering if a would be able to fit a 25x10x11 on the back OEM rims? the only difference is that the tire is 1 inch wider and 1 inch higher then the OEM tires,...will I be able to squish them enough into the rim and not have any problems, or would I need to get a different size rim to fit the new back tires on? They didn't have the original size tires and this is the closest I could find.

 

They will fit with no problem at all.Just as long as you keep the ratio between the front and rear tires the same as the stock set.If going to a 25 " tire the front should be 25x9x12 and the rear 25x10x11 to keep the ratio.

thanks for the reply I just wasn't sure if stock rim will handle a wider tire.

Yes your stock rims are wider than the ITP rims that come with the bigfoot kits. The ITP are only 7 inches wide. You can go to the 25 or the 26 inch tires with no problems. I sold the first bigfoot kit I had on my Foreman to a guy with a rancher 350 4x4. They were the 26 inch 589m/s mud tires. It looks awesome and still has plenty of power and no clearance issues..I went back with the Mudlite tires on mine and it handles so much better. I just wish I had gone with the 27inch this last time for a little more ground clearance.
