I also think 1" over stock will probably be fine using the ITP wheel. Using the 27" mudlite you will have to lift your front springs with a spacer or put in a progressive suspension kit. You won't need any wheel spacers with the ITP wheels. With the 26 you might be borderline for adding a clutch kit to save your belt. 27" definately get a big foot clutch kit.
