Newbie - Thank you for Add - Building out a 26

[John Wichmann]

I am building a 26 out now for pick up in a couple of weeks.

I want to upgrade the tires.

Please share pros and cons of 32’s vs 35’s

Thank you in advance and again thank you for the add

32's and 33's will work without and rubbing issues, most 35" tires will rub when the suspension is compressed. Of course wheel offset and tire width can make conditions better or worse and then there is the fact that some tires run tall or short. Long story short if you go with 35" tires I would be prepared that you may need front suspension parts.

Thank you Big Red!

I appreciate the help and that totally makes sense.

I love my 32’s. No issues with clearance as Big Red said and no rubbing.

Welcome to the group and congrats on the new machine. You’ll love the 1500. I also have 32” tires and have no issues. Like Big Red said, if you go 35” you would want to consider at least installing new front control arms that kick the front tires forward 2”, to help from rubbing. Another thing to think of is, if you’re gonna trailer it at all. I use an enclosed trailer and with 35’s, I don’t think I’d get it inside.
