I have what I hope is a simple question. I bought a 2016 Kodiak EPS SE and would like better tires.

My question is do I use the stock SE aluminum wheels (are the good or soft and flimsy?) and put a taller 25" like a bighorn original on or will a 26" fit on stock wheels or are the stock wheels garbage and should I just buy 26" on a new wheel (does 26" fit without a lift kit or spacers?).

If I should buy a 26" bighorn or similar tire that runs large and fits without a lift or spacers, what wheelnl do you recommend? I am looking for a light yet strong aluminum wheel to keep unsprung weight down and offset the heavier tires.

So do I keep the stock wheels and put a taller 25 on, keep the stock wheels and put a 26 on if it fits or so I get new wheels with a 26 if it fits.

Thanks

just depends what you want. if the rims are 12in then most tires will fit that go on a 12 inche rim. me personally i would keep them wheels and tires mounted and just buy a new set of wheels and tires just so i have to sets if something happened and you had to wait on a tire you got a spare set

Well I called discount tire and rockymountain and they both said the stock wheel is good and there is not need to buy an aftermarket one. I ordered a set of Bearclaw HTR in 26-9-12, 26-11-12.

Just need to figure clutching out now.

A lot of ppl put the clutch weights from a grizzly in the kodiak and shim the primary clutch out. Im still waiting on the clutch weights to come in

That is exactly what I am doing. I ordered a set of 2016 grizzly weights and a 2mm shim kit.

where did you order the clutch weights from? ive been looking for a set without luck. you can just install the weights w/o the shim right?

I ordered my weights from the yamaha dealership. But you can order them from rockymountian

I ordered the weights from ronayers. Had the best price by far.
