Default Same old tire size question

06 800 sportsman, EPI Mudder clutch kit being purchased this week when I find a good price....not going well.

Any way I put the Swamp-lites on my 550 and really like them for their price. I put 28s on there and looks great and has plenty of clearance. I would like to know if any of you have 29.5s on your bike w/o a lift kit. ready to order but going between 28s and 29.5's.

Cannot find overall tire height for the 29.5s even on Interco's website.

Thanks for any input.

you will need a lift kit for that size. I had 27" on mine and that is about as big you can go w/ out any issues of rubbing. I only had a Dalton primary spring in mine but you may want more if you put that big of tire on.

EPI makes a good kit but QSC is well worth the $. 28's will be a squeeze and will need a lift for 29.5's.

well I went with the 28 10 12's which are about an inch taller than the 28 9 14's on my 550 im guessing its due to larger lugs on the 10" tire

i had the front tire hit the foot well once on a hard hit into a hole, but overall, they are great.

while cleaning bike though i did find the bushings were all falling apart so bushings all around and spacer for front springs and she will tighten right up.
