Got a free set of 26" tires
 
My buddy Vince O gave me a set of 26" ags today. They are check cracked and all but they are better than the turfs on my 104. Now my problem, these things are huge..so I believe I have to raise the fenders. I just don't know how much, so does anyone know how much they have to raise? I'd like to get them on there just for fun...:popcorn::bigthink:

You can raise the fenders but be aware you will have to modify the footrest connections, and your shifter may hit the opening in the pan.Just my 2 ¢…

I had a set of 26x12x12s on my 102 I had more issues with the sidewalls rubbing then hitting the fender with tread. Just don't over inflate you should be ok

I was looking at that tonight, not really wanting to do the work if I don't have too. If I can squeeze them under there without too much work I'd be a whole lot happier...

You didn't raise your fenders? Just ran lower pressure? That may work, I'm going to try and squeeze them under there without unbolting anything more than the lugs...

Yea I don't remember exactly which tires it was that I had but I had them filled with wwf and maybe 2-3 psi. They were close... real close maybe 1/16 from the fender but never noticed them hitting. Only rubbed the sidewall. They were also on some home made wide wheels
