Re: max tire hieght on fox

what gear are you using? This will have an effect on what rpm you run at the big end too....but I think you should be able to fit a 295, not too sure on a 28" though, backspacing of your rims may have an effect as well...

Re: max tire hieght on fox

I "think" depending on what width rim you use that the 5.5 would be ok, I know on my 18's the back spacing is 24 mm...which is around 6 inches I "think", with 10.5 wide I would think you'd want to go with a 6.5 BS...

of course I am NO tire/wheel expert...
YMMV
lol
