I'm looking at a set of super swamper vampires. Front are 27x10x12 and rears are 27x12x12. Can anyone confirm that these will work on my 2018? I don't really want to do the frame mod...yet. Lol.

My 2017 came with 30"x9 STI Outbacks, everything worked fine, I removed those big tires and now have 27"x9, 27"x11. Not sure if this helps since neither of these tires are as wide as the ones you want. Good luck!

Or perhaps I should go with a lightly used set of 26" bighorn 2.0's that I got a line on? Between these two tires, what you would you guys chose and why?

I have 27x10x14 vampire 2's on all four corners...they fit with no rubbing....I think you will be ok on just about any 27" tire but every tire manufacture measure differently

Hi,
So I ended up with the vampires. Found an old set of brute force rims, drilled and tapered the holes and bingo! Got about 100kms on them and love them so far! Right now no spacers, not sure I’m gonna either.. cheers!

Looks good! Now it needs some stance, I rode that way for one ride and it sucked. Makes it a more capable machine too. :cool:
