Well, with a little creative thinking, and a little modifying, I have a brand new, never been on a machine set of tires- the stock ones off of my husband's Grizz! When he bought it, it already had the big wheel kit on it, so these were just sitting there collecting dust. He got looking at them and did some measuring. The bolt pattern's the same, with the same measurements so he tried putting them on. On the rear ones, he had to flip the rims around to keep them from hitting the frame, but other than that they fit! So he may need to do a little more modifying (tapered lug nuts and all) to make sure they stay snug. The new rims are an inch bigger, so now I have a mini lift kit!



I can't wait until it's totally done and I can go riding!

You guy's are making good progress. Tires don't look bad at all. I've got take off's from my Grizz, but the rears are skins, one of which has five plugs in it. Keep up the good work.

Actually, HE'S making good progress lol. He does most of his tinkering while I'm sleeping. I work 1st shift and have to start early for OT, while he works 2nd shift and has to stay late for OT, and then he stays up to get the rugrat on the bus. So he's usually got a couple hours to kill. Now he's got something constructive to do.

Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and
permanently set.
