I just put a pair of those same tires on my vert. On 11" or wider wheels you'll need flares. I have 11" Forgestars and 1" flares. They fit perfectly.

Pretty soon we won't have 2 wheels and tires, just one solid rubber roller across the rear.
Are you going up on the front too - aren't those 2" taller than the fronts?
Nice looking tires and wheels, should last forever. We need pics after you get them on.

Click on the little icon that looks like a mountain with the sun. You can then load pics right from your computer.
