I have 26" and I can go 55.3mph on a GPS. I'm not sure about 27" inch tires, but I think bigger (even 26") tends to rob performance from the cvt type drive systems. There are always trade offs like ground clearance, and you need to decide what you're willing to loose to gain performance in your prefered terain.
Also, bigger tires put more leverage/stress on axles, cv joints etc.
Good luck
It's worse with 6" wider a arms and wheels!
I just did 450 miles in Baja with no problems. A rhino was also on the trip, going 50mph down the road you could smell his belt burning, but it heald up too.
Just got back from Baja. We went across the peninsula on a three day riding trip. We went between 100 and 150 miles per day. The terrain varied from wide open dry lake beds to low range rock crawling. My long travel RZR made it without any mechancal problems. I need to post some pics soon.

Answered my own question.
jaggedx has pics of a camo one, but the pattern looks cheesy.
Do you have pics or a link?

Loanstar Racing makes a gas pedal, and claims it increases spring tenion. I do the same thing, when you hit a bump you hit the gas.
The engine braking is just something you have to get used to.
The front steering turns so tight the CV joint binds on the axel. My front axels both had marks on them. The solution is to put some sort of spacer on the rack so it won't allow the tires to turn so tight.

I would have thought they would hit the back of the front wheel well opening where it points forward. Im impressed that they fit. Did you loose or gain top speed? Is it as fast out of the hole?
The tires are the same as a Rhino comes with. Look what they are asking. The rims probably aren't worth anything.
Nice.
Mine's in pieces, but should be done in about a week.
What kind of top speed are you expecting? I've heard all kinds of wild expectations, what's the real deal?
I used to work on a Sprint Car pit crew and we used WD-40 mixed with Armorall.
I am putting Fireball racing suspension. My unit is the prototype. This guy has done quads forever, and there are a ton of local and national Rhino's with his suspension.
Its going to be a 6 over kit (six inches per side.) It will also increase the wheel base.
We went to the mountians this weekend with my RZR and a friend's Rhino. The Rhino is stock with wheels and tires. The Rhino corners better. The RZR doesn't want to slide, and you really have to throw it into the corner and play with the throttle. You can still fly into corners, it just takes more effort to turn it. The RZR also drags going over rocks, but the suspension and tires will take care of that. Other than that, the RZR was better. In CA they put steep "water bars" in the trails to prevent erosion. With the RZR you can gas it over them and the landing isn't too bad. The guys in the Rhino called it the pogo stick. One of the Rhino passengers got car sick from it.
Anyways, they are both great machines. The Rhino is much more multi purpose as far as work and play, or converting it to 4 seater. The RZR is faster, has better seats, better ergonomics and is a better platform to modify for sport uses.
Just my opinions after 20 hrs of operation.
