what exactly do the numbers on the side of the tires mean? i know they are the hieght, the width and the rim size, but which one which?

 

25x8x12=25" tall(hight)8"=width,12"=rim size just an example

 

so i have in front 25x8x12 and in back 25x11x10. the reason i'm asking is i can get a set of mudzilla's that were used for one spring for $375, and they are 27x12x12 and 27x9x12. i would probably have to get a set of rims!

 

the 12" rears would be fine but the 9" fronts might rub on stock rims if you dont get spacers. if your going to get rims as well you might as well get a big wheel kit all together.

 

i never looked that closely to the amount of spacing behind the tire, it's really that close that an inch makes a difference?

 

on the new ones it is. on my 800 it was w/ in 1/2" on the strut.
