I have a 99 Scrambler 500 and I just recently put 25" bearclaws all-around. The front fit very easy but the back was pretty close to the floorboard, I could stick my thumb between the tire and floorboard. It rode great but it looked like the tires were squeezed on. I took my floorboards off to see if I could flip them around and get another inch or two but they were the same, so I just moved them up an inch and out an inch and drilled new holes in the floorboard to match the holes in the bracket. It was very easy to drill the holes and the fit is great. Now the rear tires have plenty of room and my feet are able to sit a little wider. Wider is better I wanted to test the new ground clearance so I took my scrambler to a nice deeply rutted swamp trail that I made with my sportsman 500 on 26 vamps. I would bottom out on my sportsman but with my scrambler I did not touch the bottom one time. I was very impressed, now my scrambler might have the highest ground clearance around and the performance to take it past all the others. The more I ride it the better I like the size tires I got. A couple people said they have tried larger tires on a scrambler and had to change the gear ratio and said it was not worth it, then I ask did you do that to a 400 and they say yes. The 400 just doesn't have the 4 stoke thump to turn tires like this, but the 500 easily turns them with no gear ratio changing. I can easily slide them and spin them. I am so happy I bought the 500 Later, Steve
