dont go any bigger then 26s or you'll start braking parts i know.

if you get the mud lites then maybe 27s but no bigger there too hard on parts.
enjoy your new cat.

26-10-12s up front and 26-12-12s in the rear. This way you maintain as much power as possible as well as getting the deeper lugs. And you avoid premature driveline and steering system wear due to huge tires

I have 26's and really like them, take a look at my pictures to see what they look like. I wouldn't go bigger than that for the reasons everyone else has stated.

I went up to 26's on my 03 500 auto. Also installed K/N fitercharger and did the 'tranny trick'. Lost a little up top but down low in the deep stuff I can usually run in 2 wheel drive!! Not to mention the bike looks mean with the new claws on. And wheelies are no issue here!! Stick with stock sizes or go up one. Any larger is overkill.

Hey Mudblaster,
Nice pics...
I really like the look of your front grill. Was this a factory accesory or your own modification? I think it would look real sweet on mine with the C series rims. Thanks
