Will they fit?

 

someone has to have those tires

 

They will rub a little bit, my buddy is running them on his 04 700, i have 27" on my 04 700 and they rub on full compression. i wouldn't worry too much about 26", there will be very little rub. hope this helps

 

Thanks. Maybe I should stick with the 25 inch

 

I have 25's on my Hawkeye with no rubbing whatsoever, No way i'd put tires that small on a 700.

 

They will fit just fine. A little fender rubbing will happen though.

Just keep a close eye on your tie rod boots.

Bigger front tires on stock rims will screw up your tie rod boots.

Are you going to run the stock rims?

Put a 1" lift in and some offset rims you don't have to worry about anything

 

Wider tires in the front will rub on the shocks, if you intend to stay with the 8" or 9" wide front tires, there should be very little rub and no wear on the cv boots.

 

Thanks, I hace a brand new set of factory chrome rims that came with it so I will probably use them. The 26in front is a 9 in. Should I just go with 25 in so I don't get any rubbing? It's only an inch. What advantages will the 26 in have? (a little more clearance)

 

more rubber=more traction

 

i'ld be more worried about rubbing the front tires width wise on the struts and tie rod ends than the fenders.
