I am planning on purchasing 26"x9" titans for the front of my xpedition this fall, but want to make sure they will not interfer with my steering or cause suspension prob's. i think the floorboards set a little differently on the xp from the auto. atvs. so anyone running these? would i be better off to get 25" tires? thx for responses.

The tires should fit. Just watch the clearance on the right tie rod. If you are running the stock wheels the tire may rub on the right tie rod.

I think the 26's will fit to. I just put 2 washers
on each lug bolt on both fronts. that is a total of 16 washers. For an xpedition with the rear axle. the bigger the tires, helps out in the mud. I went from 25 stock tires, to 26 mudbugs, to 27 mudbugs. I also have from high lifter the progressive lift springs/adjustible cams. The more clearance the better for an xpedition....

The 26" 589s will fit w/o a lift, BUT they will rub the on the front at the right side tie rod end. I used 3 washers on the right side lugs (with a stock offset) and at 20psi or less the rubber boot stays intact. Also the 26s will rub the rear of the front fenders when the strut is compressed.
