275's up front fit well, but they may rub a little when making a full turn/U-turn..but as far as rears, I think you can go pretty damn wide...maybe even 330 if they even make that [Big Grin]

i have 275's up front on my sn95 and 295 or 285 out back.. you loose turning radius by going wider in the front though.. also roll them fenders and have a panhard bar for the rear!! it will save you hundreds of dollars in tires.
