tires

what is the biggest size of tires i can run on a rhino with no lift and no rubbing????? i ride mostly trails but like getting in the mud too!!!!.....also what do YA'LL think is the best tire

You can probably go with 27". 28" might rub some. I have 26" Mud lite XTR's. I think the size and tire are great.

I'm running 27" Mud Lites, no lift & no rubbing, even with the swaybar removed. They are 10" wide in the front, & 12" wide in the rear, on ITP Type 5 wheels. A friend of mine has 28" Swamp Lites with no lift on 14" ITP Type 7s, but he is running 10" width on all 4 corners. The only place you really have to worry about rubbing is on the black piece in front of the back tires, from what I've seen. Minor trimming will fix that, if needed.

I wouldn't run anything larger than 27's.

Agree With BootLegger Power Loss is Not Worth It UnLess You Are Moded Then Sky is The Limit

I concur. I would not run anything bigger then 27" unless there is a lift and eng mods.

what type of engine mods would it take to spin 28's easy i don't really want 28;s just being nosy and should i do any mods for putting 27's on i like the mud but i don't want it to be a turtle HEY BAD,,how does yours turn those ML's that's what i am going with probably sorry for all the questions guys but thanks for the help

a CDI box is a must well not must but i highly recomend it move that rev limiter up and the reverse limiter off completly...esp in the mud

i have read that the only true way to get low end power is at least a cam, piston,and new valve springs

It turns em fine in the mud. I usually run in Low, but it will pull good in High as well. I am planning on getting a Hunterworks CDI when they get some more in stock. Never hurts to have a little extra........

If you ride like RCMass, Ridepate, and I. You want to run 23's.

Ya'll must run WFO :D I just trail ride with a little mud thrown in for good measure. Very little, if any high speeds. Where I ride mostly, the extra little bit of ground clearance is helpfull.

A clutch kit is a great Mod for Huge tires. If you go to snorkel the air box and rejet stuff the only way to get it really running right and correctly is to put it on a Dyno.

One more thing to at least think about, that hasn't been mentioned yet, is the extra stress on your axles, CV joints, steering components, etc. That's why I limited my tire size to 27s. I had these tires/wheels on my Grizzly, so I just swapped them to the Rhino when I bought it.

23's on carbon fiber bead locks

east bound and down - wfo!

its so crazy how folks ride and mod these machines so differently....

I wouldl love to see of these lifted mud hogs in person one time...

and as for my tire recommendation - for your mudders - GO BIG OR GO HOME!!

hows about some 33" Super Swampers???

If the Rhino w/ 27" Lites won't make it, I'll get the K5 w/ 38" Swampers. Something will go.........or break.......or, cable will get pulled.... :D

Have you looked at motoxmall.com just ordered me some XTRs and ITP SS 212s at a dang good price!!

i got the 29s but i got a 2" lift rollin strong in the mud and all i got is CDI, sheave and ex. tip i spin em in the mud no problem no hills slow em down but i still climb like a champ....usually

Get the 32 inch Gorilla Silverbacks

okay i got the CDI, sheave, and ex tip remember i am new to SXS what is the ex tip...can you explain so a dumb Alabama hillbilly could understand lololol

Hillbilly by the term "ex. tip"; I am sure they mean exhaust tip. Most people put a 2" tip on it.

it is exhaust tip and it unrestricts the muffler air flow a bit by taking the spark arrestor out and changes the sound a bit as well cause shes wide open

not the best but u can see somewhat
