Hey guys just trying to get some info i got a buddy who rolled his wolverine 450, he had 3 rides on the tires i took them off him and the rears fit rim and all, but the fronts dont, i was only trying to see what they would look like but if i left the rears on and my stock fronts is that gay? the rears are 23x10xr12 makes for more clearence and alot more traction, thing is now the fronts are smaller then the rears.
So im just wondering what u guys think? if i keepem i probly have to get a new sprocket i assume
thanks in advance

it will cause handling problems, lifting the rear end up 1.5" will put you nose down and affect handling, and messes with the front end geometry
most ppl only will go with a 22" tall rear and then they put a 23" in the front
its best to have the front tire 1-2" taller than the rear

i run 18's in the front and 22's in the rear. but i have changed my suspension to correct the change from the different size tires. o yeah and i mostly drag race too so i just need to go straight no real handling involved.

you could always drill out the honda bolt pattern into the wolverine front rims. just a thought
