Hey, my Angle POS came with 2.50f/2.75r cheng shin nobs. No clearance issues even with a bent front rim and fork. Shim the front shocks, add coilovers, bash guard, high exhaust, dual sprocket setup and you have a basic Trail 55. Light bike, light power, very controlable. Grab your go bag and get gone! Sounds like a fun project. Keep us posted. Kyle

My regular tires worked OK and I went all over the Santa Cruz mountain game trails, hiking trials and horse trails. Had many interesting encounters and adventures.
