I was looking at the Maxxis Mud Bugs and they come in a 27x8x12 for the front but still not sure if they would rub,they also look like a good mud tire

 

Not to be a stick in the mud (sic), but I gotta ask.... What kinda riding do you mostly do? Unless you're riding mud 50% of the time or more, I would stick with the 25s (power)... maybe 26s (compromise for a little more ground clearance at the cost of some power/weight).

If you're normally riding dry trails at a good pace, with an occasional mud hole, you're not going to like 27s at all. Too heavy, too much power loss. And god forbid you need to ride a tight trail!

 

I'd say 75% of the time we ride off the beaten path in thick mud with deep ruts

 

Well I bit the bullet and bought the 27" Zilla tires on ITP wheels,I'll post the results after they arrive in 3-5 days

 

Excellent choice, what Rims did you go go with, and if ya don't mind me askin where'd ya get them, and how much did they run ya?

 

They set me back $600 even w/free shipping off Ebay,the rims are ITP type 7 machined and the lug nuts are included.I researched tires for several days and due to light weight I picked the Zillas.I've read alot of good about them.The Highlifter forum has a post "LETS SEE THEM ZILLA PICS" pretty impressive

 

Congrats on the purchase. You have to put up some pics when you get them. With the offset rims you won't have to mess around with spacers or tierods. Nice!

 

They should be in tomorrow,I've got a rear end tore down in a 680 I've got to get back together but maybe I'll have some time for mine.I'll post some pics when they arrive as well as some before afters

 

Here are some pics of the new Zilla 27" vs the stock 25" tires.I took my lift kit off the front yesterday,I got a new kit on the way but without it I have plenty of clearence.What do you think?
