96 Foreman 400 - 2" lift (High Lifter) ordered, now looking at tires - Honda Foreman Forums : Rubicon, Rincon, Rancher and Recon Forum

Hey all!
I recently purchased a 2" inch lift for my foreman 400 and I'm looking at getting new tires also, right now I have the Original 24x8x11 front and 24x10x11 rear tires, on stock 11" rims.

I was looking at getting some GBC gators tomorrow, however they only come with 24's for the 11" stock rims :S not many mud tires were put on the market for 11's,also thought of putting longer shocks in the front? I heard of people installing rear shocks in the front.

anyone have a foreman setup with 11 inch rims? I could bite the bullet and get 12"rims and higher tires but then I don't know what tire size it could handle without rubbing and bog down my engine.

Any helpful information or pictures would be appreciated

Cheers!

welcome to the forum !
since you are putting a lift on i asume you want bigger tires right ?
i agree with scott on the 12in wheels because you should be able to run 26in tires with no trimming and verry little power loss mabey 27in if youre shocks and springs arent worn !
