Well you can probly fit a 29.5" but they will rub when you turn or hit bumps.

I would say 27" is the biggest without much rubbage (My 27's rub the floor boards when the suspension comrpresses and im turning)

I'm running 28x10 Silverbacks with no rubbing issues other than the gas tank, but spacers or aftermarket wheels will solve that.

your inbox is full i tried to pm u..
could you post a pic of that set up and how bad does it rub the tank? is it just rubbing the tank cover?
also they dont make the 28 silverback to go on a 14" rim do they?

Im running the same as BassMaster 28x10x12 on offset "Vison" wheels...and I dont rub the tank

DPS I'm on stock wheels. I only have 30 messages in my inbox but I went ahead and cleared it since it's been giving me an error for a loooong time. Next time I go on a ride I'll take some pictures, my Brute is across town. It barely rubs the tank COVER when compressed. The 27x12's barely rubbed it as well on larger bumps, also stock rims. Cranking the shocks up will get rid of the rubbing.

how bad did it hurt the top end? does it really affect the performance?
so 28" will go with no lift. do the 29.5 outlaws go on without a lift? how do you guys like that 28 silverback? so 28 12s all around or 28 10 up front? and if anyone can get pics that would be sweet looking to get these tire soon.

I went with the skinnies all the way around because I couldn't afford rims. I am glad I didn't go wide though, these things are as wide as my 27x12 MudBugs.

I don't know about top end but I did hit 40 easy. I haven't had a chance to put a new secondary in yet either.. With stock clutching the front end will still come up fairly easy.

29.5's are going to be hit and miss, some people say they rub, some don't. If I were to go 29.5's I would get a 2" lift or Highlifter springs at the very least, the 08+ springs sag a lot.

I am loving the silverbacks. If you have good throttle control they will paddle through almost anything. They do just as good as laws. It's all about throttle control.

so you went 28 10's all the way around on stock rims right?
can i even compare the 28 backs to the 27 mud lites?
what wouls the downfall be to running 28 12 all the way around?

thinking about running this rim with 28 12 back all the way around.. you think 28 10 are better?

I've broken my right fender from my 26x12s hitting in the back. The springs do seem like they let it bottom down to easy. Maybe should jump it less hard.
