P700 Sorry Another Tire n Rim Question

[JRH]

So I am looking at upgrading tires n wheels. I have searched but still have questions. I am looking at upgrading tires n wheels for 700 deluxe. I am looking at Vision wheels 14x7 &14x8 with maxxis bighorn 2 tires 27x9x14 and 27x11x14. Wheel weight of 17lbs and tire weight 27.8lbs for 11 inches and 22.25lbs for 9 inches. I cannot find factory tire n wheel weights. Does anyone have any comments? Also I am on stock equipment currently but have 1 1/2" shock spacers if needed (currently not installed yet). I am worried about clearance with factory fender flares and reduction in performance?

You will be fine with those sizes.And them rims are nice too. I run the BH 2.0 6plys and love them. 2500 miles on mine and only half worn out.I run 28inch and noticed very little power loss but 27s will be perfect for you.

Thanks swsebek how much lift are you running with 28`s. Do you think my 1 1/2" would be enough if went with 28's. Still figuring out what my best options are.

You have to make sure the 28s are true to size. Big horn 2.0 6ply are true to size. I have a strong made 2 1/2” lift and Fox shocks. But I put the 28s on first with nothing else and they would only rub on going down inclines and turning sharp at the bottom.I then added mudd busters fender flares and then the bolts would rub the tires. That is when I added the lift and then I had no rubbing. Guys say the 28s take power away but I really couldn’t notice much. The fox shocks are amazing and next to power steering we’re my best upgrade.

Thanks swsebek so you had rubbing with stock suspension? Wondering if I'll be OK with 1 1/2" spring lift. Definitely looking into Mudd busters. Really like fox shocks but wow on price! Gotta love these machines and the amount of money you can shell out on accessories!
