Yeah, all the way till it stops. I am trying to gain ground clearance as the trails I run get deeply rutted from full size trucks and 4x4's running on them.

I measured the gap off the standard 19's and there seemed to be 3" all day. So I took off the wheel and measured from the hub and could only mesure 11" from the hub to the frame which would equal 22".

With the first measurement I was all geared up for some nice 25's on ITP's, to give me around 3" lift at the front, but I am having to measure again.

My last resort and probably the best option is to talk nicely to the local powersports shop and see if I can loan some wheel/tire combo's and try them.

If you could take a picture I would appreciate it.

BTW have you gone through lifting the suspension yet? Rotate the rear bracket and move the front bracket inwards?



I should be able to get a picture tomorrow night instead of Saturday. I will post asap.

Just a little plug for www.motosport.com

I bought 4 new rims and 4 new tires for my 2006 GK-13 250cc buggy. I got 10X5 rims (blue series-4/110mm) for the front with 22x7x10 Kenda Klaw tires and 10x8 rims (black series-4/137mm) for the rear with 22x11x10 Kenda Klaw tires.

All this for $340.00! This included all mounting, valves stems, shipping, balancing and NO taxes!! They have a package deal and you have to call them in order to get the deal.

Not bad and great customer service to boot.


Just as an FYI for us, how much clearance do you have on the front tire on full lock? Can you show me a picture? I am looking to go bigger but my fear is 22" is as big as you can go.



I got the pictures, but can't post them until later. I can tell you that when turned, the wheels only have about an inch of clearance before rubbing against the frame.

Thanks, I guess I can't get away with 23's then? Especially if the diameter is nominal and doesn't include tread.

Looks like 22's for me then. :cry:
