They sure do look mean. I'm dying to try a set to see exactly how they perform on hard trails.

Good choice of size too. You will like the 28's.

I would watch with the rear tires. You might not see it yet but they will rub on the gas tank on suspension travel. A 1" spacer fixes that however..... and makes the machine about 10 times more stable. I have a 12.5" wide rear on my stock rims on the back of my '12 and they clear with the spacers but are close. Looks better with the spacer in place too.

No one makes a hubcentric spacer that works with the stock rims either. The Highlifters are Hubcentric on the hub side, but not the wheel side. And before some clown with a death wish tells you just to use tapered nuts on the stock rims......... don't. There is nothing for a tapered nut to grab and center the rim on the stud. Tapered nuts need tapered holes to tighten into........ not a perfect flat surface with a hole exactly the size of a stud. Lots of people just bolt them on anyway and use the stock lug nuts hoping the rim is centered by the stud arrangement alone....... I guess some are comfortable with that. I like speed and am clutching mine to run closer to 80 mph.........

I had Hubcentric spacers made from the Highlifter units. Cost me a whopping $50.
