Welcome to prc! You shouldn't have any issues with those fitting. The 225/70r14 converts to a 26.4 inch tall by 8.9 wide tire. That should fit on a stock 900

 

Would you go with a wider tire? What would be the largest tire that would reasonably fit on a 7" rim?

 

11 is as wide as I would personally go and feel comfortable with. Some run 12 wides on a 7 inch rim. The 9 inch wide tire you are looking at won't be bad. A ton of guys run 10s all they way around too. Keep in mind the wider the tire the better flotation you get on soft ground. The wider tire won't dig down as much as a skinny would. But going from a 9 to a 10 you probably won't be able to tell. Also the more narrow tire will steer a little better on hard pack surfaces

My opinion the paticular size you are looking at seems like it would be a good fit for your needs. What tire are you looking at?

 

Honestly I do not know, I'm going to call the distributor tomorrow and see what they have in that size. Usually for vehicles I get what ever they are running a special on. But this is a little bit of a different animal than just calling up the supplier with a tire size.

 

I might be a little weary of a straight street tire. Like something you would see on a car. If you could get some type of all terrain that would be better for the different terrain you may encounter. But you know where you are driving better then I do so a street tire may be okay.

 

I ordered these rims:

I am going to get a set of 225/70/R14 tires.

The offset is not 4+3.

 

That's a pretty good price. What's the offset on them. I didnt see it listed anywhere in the link. They should still be okay with those tires though since they aren't that wide

 

it says the backspacing is 3" so I'm assuming (I'm still new at this) that equates to a 3+4.

 

I believe it's a 4+3. I think that's the only offset itp makes it that paticular 14" wheel

 

I started out with an aftermarket set of 12" wheels and Bighorns mainly due to people saying that a 14" wheel and tire is more prone to a failure due to pinching between a rock and the rim of the wheel.

I totally agree with them, however for the type of driving and terrain I'm on, the 12" wheels and tire combo I had was just barely adequate in regards to load.

After upgrading to 14" wheels and a heavier tire I'm much happier. Handling is better too due to stiffer and shorter sidewalls. I really like the 14" STI HD5's I have due to the beadlock. This makes tire changes a personal affair. You just need a bucket or stump to set the wheel over to help set the rear bead. I was surprised at how easy it was to put my own tires on!!

However, I saw this shortly after I upgraded to the wheels and tires in my signature. http://www.prcforum.com/forum/17-ranger-discussions/52362-general-grabber-27-tires.html

If I were to do it over again, I'd probably put the General Grabber AT3's on mine. I run these on my Tacoma in a larger size and am very pleased with this tire. For the type of work I do around the house, this would have been ideal for me. Snow performance is great as is general work in fields, dirt roads. In mud they're ok, not anything like my current Pitbull Rockers though.

General Grabber AT3's are very quiet and smooth on road as well. In comparison to the stock tires that came with my Tacoma, the Generals were only slightly louder.

Additionally, the Generals will probably last a whole lot longer just due to less weight on them, plus they look awesome on the ride in the link!

 

What size are those?

EDIT:
Never mind: 27/850R14 95Q

 

Will AT Grabbers fit the 8 inch wide sixr wheels on the rears. I have some bighorns on it now with less than 300 miles on them and I'd like something a little smoother. 7 inch wheels on the front so I know they would fit.

Grabber? AT² | General Tire

The website says no by 1/2". Your call on trying it. In the end you'd only have to buy 2 of the 7" wheels if it didn't work out.

 

I ordered General Grabbers AT2. I will post photos when I get them installed.

 

What lug nuts are everyone using?

 

Did the wheels you ordered not come with them? Most do.

 

No they did not come with Lug nuts. I emailed ITP and they gave me a part number and I ordered lug nuts.

 

Man that looks good! Makes me want to wear out my tires just so I can get these on mine.
