What would be the largest fattest tires you can put on this thing without alot of rub?
And what would be a good width for the front?

I will be doing some easy to medium trail riding and maybe a bit of mud [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Weight seems to be factoring in, I have looked at the Mud Bugs and Mud Lites
andyone have any info or advice on these?

 

Are you going to mount the wheels on your stock rims?

As far as "how big", I'd go with 26's, 27's will fit, but you may have some minor rubbing. The bigger you go the more "stress" on parts, especially the front end.

size wise: 26x9x12 front
26x12x12 rear is a GREAT SET-UP.............................

I have a set of ITP Mud lites on a set of aftermarket wheels. And a set of KENDA Exectuioner tires on my stockies. I have a '07 700 KQ

 

How about rims? what are some super light rims? I am having trouble finding their weight

 

You'll have to go with Aluminum rims BUT, the tires are where you'll gain most of the weight. Rim weight isn't going to vary alot, its the bigger the tires that will cause the extra pounds. Especially a 6ply tire, which is what I'd recommend.

 

so a 12 wide and a 9 wide on the front is a good combo?

I was gonna get some aftermarket rims and the Mud Bugs or Mudlites

I will be getting 6 ply no matter what

The mud bugs are close to the weight of the Mudlites

 

It's a combo (9" front/12" rear) that I like, you can go to a 10" on the front but, it will make the steering feel more heavy. I think you'll be very happy with the 9/12 tires.
