I put a set of 25" Kenda Executioners on my wife's wolfy with stock rims. They run just a bit short. There is no rubbing problem at all. I did not want to go too tall because I did not want to loose the low end. I am quite happy with the set up.

So with 25" you have no probelms.. Thats good to know. I have a chance to get a set of IPT terracross tires that are 25" for a good deal i guess i should go and snag them . What do you mean they run a bit short?

By, "they run a bit short" I mean they are really only 24'5 inches tall, not a true 25. I suspect any 25 will fit and you could possably even go taller. Just remember, as you go taller you you will trade acceleration and low speed pulling power. I ride in the high rockies and my wife's wolfy does fine on tough trails with the taller tires.

Hey Derrelw
Just curious how much power did you pick up with your mods on that Wolvie. I like the weight and size of them, they just seem like they need some extra punch and after markets shocks to be what they should.

Enough to hang with a TRX450R in the tight, twisty, rocky stuff here in New Mexico. In a flat out drag race they stomp me after 2nd gear but it does really well for what it is. I love it. I'll be in Mancos CO this weekend riding the Aspen Loop trail if you want to ride it.

I saw that you have the wheel spacers. Do those make the tires throw mud up on you all the time real bad? And how much does it make the ride more stable? thanks
