you can get away with 26s for sure and some 27s id guess....my 27 outlaws didnt rub at all until i stuck my girl on the back and then it rubbed, also even after the lift it still rubbed

27"s will rub a little when the suspension is compressed, but not too horrible. all you gotta do is build an audio tube so you dont hear it.

you can also try bending the outer part of the floorboard so you get some more room.

If I remember correctly, I think someone was having issues with the front tires rubbing the winch housing at full lock with stock rims & larger tires...i could be wrong though. You could probably search it in this forum and come up with something. Or, if you don't have a winch, then there's no prob...haha.

okay here is the deal, i did 27" outlaws on my stock rims without a lift and ran for a good while like that with no rubbing or anything, my shockes were cranked up all the way though if that matters to you, i dont recall any rubbing or scrubbing at all front or back

i then went and put a gumbo03 lift on and then i ended up having to get spacers for the front for sure becuz of how the top of the shock goes out liek 5 or 6" and sit vertical with the lift on, i went with 1.5" spacers up front and went and got them on the back as well, when i got the spacers put on the back then i had scrubbing in the rear wasnt to bad with just me riding it but when i put my girl on it it would scrubb alot to where i ended up takign my knife out and haxing some of it off

i then put a winch on and it didnt rub at all on it, thats with shocks cranked up, 2" lift, 27" laws on stock rims, and 1.5" spacers

so if ur gonna go 27" laws with no lift on stock rims ull be good and have no problem, believe it or not i am thinking about taking my lift back off my bike to try to save my axle joints, they seem to be pretty good angle, ive busted 1 and replaced and the second was just very stiff and didnt feel like tearing it all apart to figure it out so i replaced it and kept the old one till i get a chance to look at it
