Rancher tire size issue - Honda Foreman Forums : Rubicon, Rincon, Rancher and Recon Forum

MudRebel · 11-26-2011, 11:08 PM

Ive got a 2008 rancher 4wd manual. It's all stock. Anyways, i was just wondering if 27-9-11 tires for the front and 27-11-14 for the rear would fit my rancher? They are used mudlites with 50% tread that I may buy for $175 from someone.
Thanks.

Yea, they'll fit...... for some reason Honda gave the smaller racher more space under it than a foreman/rubicon. The tire/rim set-up im running were on a demo rancher at my buddies shop...... if im not mistaken a rancher will even take a 28" tire with no issues.

That should look real nice !!!!

Ok I will check out the tires, thanks h22ate! Btw my rancher is a 420.. And yes Vermot it will look good. I have bald stock tires now and my rancher looks like its real low to the ground

Thanks.

27x9x11 and 27x11x14? Are you sure on the wheels sizes? You should have 12" wheels up front and 11" wheels out back unless you have aftermarket wheels...

Fore another $100 you can get into a lot of brand new tires. I paid $280 mounted for my 27" Dirt Devil XT's.

Ok, I may just try that. I wasn't too sure about used tires anyways

Oh your right, I didn't think about that.. and yes I have stock wheels. How do you tell what the rim size is in all these sizes?
for example - 27x9x11 (27 is the tire size right?) (9 and 11, I'm not sure what these numbers are for?) This is the first time im personally getting new tires so I know very little on what Im doing..

the first number is tire height, second is tire width, and third is rim diameter.
