Last week I received my tires and wheels from rockymoutianatvmc.com . I bought the 14" STI HD4 Rims. I went with a 27" STI Roctane Tire. I got the skinny wide combo. 9" Front and 11" Rear. I will have my lug nuts in tomorrow and I will post a picture then and give feed back on tire clearance and ride. I didn't want to go with a Bighorn because everybody and their brother is running the Bighorn.

Heard lots of good news on the Roctanes. Can't wait to see them! Ya, BH's are getting a bit over popularized for sure.
Has anyone just gone with factory 10" wide wheels all around? The front end sinks in snow with the 8" front tires and gets stuck easily. and it doesn't have enough power to go bigger diameter. So I need more power where I ride, Will exhaust change do it and maybe new intake, Has anyone tried a chip change?

I have a set of wheels ready to do that but its not very high on my todo list right now. Hopefully someone will answer that for us both. Id like to know if 27x10 will fit on the front. I am at lower altitude so power is not an issue for me.
I found that the rear wheels will fit on the front if you modify the plastic rock guard on top the calipers. So I ordered a pair of factory rear wheels $50.00 ea. I plan on putting Maxius Big horns 26x10x12 on all 4 wheels, The front width changes slightly from 60" to like 61 1/4". It's a cheap way to get larger dia tires and wider front tires. Should solve the front end from sinking in the snow so bad and give me better clearance.
