hello i would like to put some mud lite tores on a 2004 eiger for ground clearance should i go 26 or 27
if i go 27 will they rub ? how more more gound clearance would i get for each size tire ?

thanks AL

 

27" will ROB you of power!! If you go to a bigger size you should look into a clutch kit. 27"ers are prolly gonna be 10"wide on the front and they are gonna add a lot of weight. Prolly should look at some lighter rims too.

Welcome to the forums. Where ya from, Al?

I'd look at the 26" with the clutch kit.

i think i might get the 26 i have a manual trans

 

Those 26" mudlites look great! And on the C-series rims they look awsome.

My daughter's roommate in college is from Overland park. (I have no idea where that is except the NCAA is headquartered there).


Before you spend any money on tires, get a service manual and an in-line fuel filter.(and not in that order!!)

 

when i bought it i put the filter on it in the parking lot and order the service manual will be here on the 24 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Good job, Al !!!

 

Welcome to the forum! Always glad to hear from an Eiger owner!

 

i agree with eiger2, 27 rob power, that was my decideing factor for going with the 26 ers if i put mud lites on my vinson i would probley go with 28's being they are lite. if you want to go with 27's you may want to pipe it, jet it, and k&N filter duty, for more hp to the ground.

 

Its kinda like painting the house. Next you need new shutters, then curtains, and bushes, and carpet, and light fixtures, and new blocks under the cars, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] , etc.


Get the 26"ers, you'll love em!

 

Get 26" MudLites on aluminum rims.
