Would 28s Blackwater on 14 in wheels fit on stock suspension? It seems people say it does or doesn't. I don't want to get different a arms and I can't lift it because it won't fit in the toyhauler. I've read that if the shocks are on the outer position it should clear. Having found anything diffinitive.

Which year and machine? It helps if you put that info' in your signature so people know what machine you have.

It's a 2015 Ranger crew 900.

They will fit. I have them on mine and had them on prior to installing a lift. I added the lift to help with sagging from the weight of the full cab and get a little more clearance for the wheel spacers I wanted to run to add some stability

Did you have to put the shocks to the outer mounts? Did they rub when the shocks are compressed?

 

[commanderjjones]

If the Blackwaters measure a full 28", if they don't rub they are going to be very close to it during full turn when the suspension travels upward. I have a feeling that moving to the outer shock holes might be required. It will be so close to rubbing, that the wheel offset comes into play.

Stupid Question 28" tires on a 12" rim vs a 14" rim? Just more sidewall ?

Yes, and I prefer 12" wheels (more sidewall) in the rocky terrain where I ride.

So with the mention of 12" wheels came up how large can u go with 12" wheels with stock every thing on 2015 900 xp with eps

The size of the wheel is irrelevant - a 30" tire on a 14" wheel takes up the same space/clearances as a 30" tire on a 12" wheel. As Jerry mentioned, there are other considerations when choosing a 14" or a 12" wheel (of even a 15"!) but wheel well clearance isn't one of them - everything else being equal!

Caveat: Wheel width and backspacing WILL be a consideration!
