Title: '03 Rancher 350 w/ITP 589 and 2" lift
Post by: HondaBeaterSFL on March 21, 2005, 01:38:49 PM
I am about to order a set of 28" ITP 589 m/s tires with rims for by lil Honda rancher. Also will order the 2" lift kit. any comments or foreseeable issues I will face. I look to this awsome group for advice, cause I know the expierence is out there. Thanks in advance. Oh, most may ask, I MUD period, went to holey lands sunday before last and we had 6 or 8 bikes sunk at once. It was a blast, but very DEEP. You know it Barney, Rickey, Ray, Bruce, Ronnie, Jeff and the whole gang. Trying to prepare for our next mud battle easter sunday.

Mud on boys, mud on...

28's are gonna be too big for the bike. Those 589's are heavy as sh!t. I have 26's and it's just right with not much power loss. Cause when you get in deep mud then you won't have the power to turn the tires.

28's are fine for the Rancher. I drove 28's on the Rancher and never had a lack of power issue. 26's will allow more torque, but is it worth getting stuck more often? The extra torque is great......great for throwing mud on people when your stuck!

26" for a 350 Torque is good, O decided to widen the Prairie verse going up and increasing the center of gravity. 2 inch wheel spacers all the way around and I run 28 ITP MUDLITES
