New XTR shoes on the Hoss

[MooseHenden]

Well, I finally got my new XTRs on the ITP Delta steel wheels. Sorry about the pic. It was getting kind of dark after I put them on. Can't wait to try out the mudholes.

i think you will be fairly happy w/ those tires. i like mine.

those are 26"s correct

I really like mine too, I only have about 75 miles on them, but they ride very good at high speeds, and not too bad at lower speeds

Didi the 26" tires rub on the front end?

Mine were close to rubbing with the stock wheels, When I went to ITP wheels it gave me close to 1" clearance, however I started hucking mud like crazy, I had to put fender flares on,
DO your wheels stick out more in your case?

The tires are 26x9s and 26x11s. They are close to the tie rod ends but don't look like they'll rub. I'll look at them after a long ride. They look like they stick out a little bit more than the stockers did. I anticipate a little extra mud. I already warned my buddies not to follow me too close into the mudholes. These tires look like they'd shovel and throw a lot of debris. I did notice a little vibration when I had it on the driveway. I imagine it will smooth back out once the front edges of the lugs get worn a bit. Now, it's hard to wait to use them... We're planning on maybe riding on the 14th. I don't know if I'll be able to wait that long.

Looks good!
I know what you mean about can't waiting to try them out!
Anticipation is a good thing though. Enjoy it! It'll make that next ride all the better.
