Sorry! Meant to say what size spacer on reply.🤭

S’all good. That’s where you might want to research. If you were getting aftermarket rims you can save out with the rim a bit and also add 1” spacers in the rear. Tons of wheel info on this site. 😉😎

Thank you Trig for the information and advice! In light of your input 27's on stock rims that could be run at a lower pressure for soft ride would be our choice. majority of our riding is on rocky mountain trails. No aggressive boulder climbing. Would you have recommendation(s) for brands, tread patterns and ply rating to give a softer ride?

Radials would be my suggestion. Heavier tires seem to be better in mud, something light for sandy trails and snow. BH 2.0's have worked for me, great all around tire.

Thank you for the many nice welcomes and suggestions! Pics seem to be encouraged, so here is one of our rig.

Question: I like the ride advantage of going with bigger tires and also the added ground clearance. Considering 27" or 28" tires with stock rims vs 14" new rims and 26" tires. Using stock rims appears to be the more economical choice. Are there any other practical reasons for going one way or the other? Would probably use same rim/tire on 4 corners +2" spacers.
