One is 8 inches wide, the other is 9 inches wide, and yes, the 26x9x12 will work

Tire size goes like this: first number is tire height, second is tire width, and 3rd is wheel size. So a 26x9x12 is 26 tall 9 wide and goes on as 12 inch wheel.

 

Thanks!

 

Any idea what is tallest tire you can put on Wolverine without hitting body or other parts?

Thanks!

 

You should also be aware that some of those numbers are subjective. The 26 inch OEM tires that come with a Wolverine are not a true 26 inches and actually the 25 inch Maxis Big Horns ( originals, not 2.0) are very close to the same size as the cheap 26's. There are a lot of good threads on here about tires and the pro's and con's of going to bigger tires.

 

I am running 27" black waters on stock wheels with no problems. Not enough power loss to notice, personally I wouldn't go any smaller.

 

My 27" Sedonas are 3" taller than the stock 26" Bighorns! Seriously. They're also 1" wider than the stock tires on all four corners.

I have not noticed that they rub at all.

 

I'm looking at buying Maxxis Big Horn 2.0. For back 28x11x14. Can I run these on the front as well? Getting them from Rockymountain ATV and looks like they suggest 28x9x14 for the fronts.

 

If they're like the stock Bighorns they'll probably be closer to 27" tall than 28". They might even be shorter than my 27" Sedonas which don't rub, but they're only 9" wide-not 11".

If your question is about running 11" wide tires on the front (in that height)...maybe somebody else can chime in to answer that.
