Ok I have had the 08 Big Bear IRS for a couple of months now and love it. Only thing I wish that it wasn't so low geared. So here is what I'm wondering if I were to go to a 27" tire wouldn't that give me a little more on the top end? Also now I have 25X10X12s on back and 25X8X12 up front. I would like to put 27X12X12 on back and 27X10X12 up front. Can I use my stock rims and also will they fit without wheel spacers or a lift kit if I adjust the shocks up? I like the looks of the Kenda Bear Claws are these a good all around tire? Thanks so much for the help.C/P

 

They will fit on stock wheels, You'll want to measure and see if you have another inch or so of room on each side( front and back ) of the tire and that it clears the heel guard and fenders

 

Thanks for the help. I ordered a big foot kit today from mud throwers. I'm getting 26X10X12 Swamplites fronts and 26X12X12 Swamplites backs on ITP steel wheels. I went with 26s because I from what I have read any thing larger I would need a lift and they would be hard on my Bear's axles and such. Thanks again C/P
