NO IT WILL NOT IT WILL JUST GO A LITTLE SLOWER YOU WILL LOSE APPROX. 3" OF DISTANCE PER REVOLUTION OF THE TIRES. WHAT TYPE OF TIRES WERE YOU LOOKING AT?

Cant put 22iners on a wolv. No 22in tires come on 12in rims, And a wolv cant run a rim smalelr than 12in since it will hit the disk break.

you can run a smaller wheel than a 12" the discs are fairly small the disc protectors are what gets in the way, but they can be removed.

You definatly can run rims smaller than 12". I don't know if any22" tires come in 11" rim sizes, but I had a set of rims off a Rancher on my Wolverine, and there was no problem whatsoever. You have to think about the offset before jumping to the conclusion that a rim won't fit.

A larger diameter tire will give you more speed on the top end. It's like going with a higher gear ratio.

A larger diameter tire will only increase the top speed if you have the power to pull the higher gearing. Changing taller tires does not mean you will be able to go faster.
