Has anyone got the new 27.5 growlers yet? I have a regular RZR 2010 that i would like to put the 27.5 growlers on. What i am thinking is 27.5/9/12 all the way around on stock steel front rims front and back. I have measured all the clearances around the tires and it appears that they should fit maybe with some rubbing..... Looks like it will clear the engine mount well but maybe get close on the floor board behind the front tires.

Anyone try this or have thoughts on it. I am after clearance mainly for deep snow but rocks also.

Thanks!

I hear ya. I have not ruled out a lift but I would like to keep the suspension to the stock angles if possible. I know that the heavier larger tires with stress the drive train quite abit and that worries me. The RZR does desperately need clearance and i have to stay as close to 50" as possible.

my 26.5's required 1-1/2" spacers to fit...zero chance the right rear will turn without it...the motor mount gets caught between the lugs :)

You can run the 27.5x9x12 with 1.5" spacers on the rear and a little hammer work on the motor mount. Or you could run the 12x6 front rims on the rear and it will clear without the spacers. You will be right at 52" with the 1.5" spacers. We are running the 27.5x9x12 Growlers all the way around. Seems to work very well.

They will measure pretty true to there size. Running 9" on front and back. If you are going to run 11" on back you will have to run a different offset wheel or much larger spacer. Only drawback might be the larger tires rob a little bit of power. But to me the ground clearance, ride and performance of the Pit Bull out way the slight power loss.

Got my 27.5/9/12 growlers last week and hit the mountains over the weekend. The robbed some power no doubt but nothing i cannot live with. My test will be in deep snow this winter. They do rub on the front floor pan/wheel well but only with a passenger. I have the suspension on the 2nd notch from softest setting. I think i rubbed the engine mount once all weekend. We rode 170 miles in 3 days. Lots of boulder covered roads but lots of gravel roads too.
