Ok they look awsome,my question now is,what size width are they,i see you mounted them on your stock rims,and have the max just like i do,i was under the impression on the old style chassie like ours we could not mount those tires on stock rims and have all the turning clerances needed to stroke thru all the travel,and turn full radius,i was looking at mounting the same tire only size up to 9x12x27 on all 4 corners on stock rims,can that be done?? thanks pete

I installed 26/9/12 & 26/11/12 and they run large. I had to temporally shim the front rims (1/4 inch) out to give me clearance on the tie rod end until I get a more permanent spacer. Although there's not much clearance it appears to be enough. I had it for a short drive & I don't see any problems, although your mileage may vary on 27's.

I have 27's on now,and my milage has not ben an issue,i know these tires run large,that is why i picked them,i want more ground clerance than i have and dont want a lift kit.

Mileage - your results may differ than those running 26's when running 27's.That's what i was getting at.

Absolutely will,if you are saying 26 vrs 27 may be faster,than i would agree,that extra height dia. will slow me down some,but i am ok with that,did you only have to shim your front out,and not your back,when i spoke to rockymountain,they said the wheels were spaced at 5+2 offset on 7x12 rims.

Hey you old dog,how the hell have ya been mike!! Ya that was why i decided to get them instead of the bighorns,plus you guys have all run the bighorns,and of late have had some punctures,so 2 more ply and radial to boot,how can we go wrong. Mike on a side note,i just unwraped my oem brp snorkel unit,man looks easy until you try and figure out what the pipe coming out the front r h side on the air box they give you hooks to.
