I have an '02 fx140 with an '03 load rite ez loader trailer. Looking to replace the tires. They come with dinky 4.80-12 tires that look grossly undersized. I tried my 5.3-12 spare on it and looks far better. Has clearance around the fender and overall looks like it would work. Anyone have experience upgrading to a slightly larger tire and getting clearance with full suspension articulation?
 
Didnt want to take the chance on the 5.3s making contact during suspension travel. Replaced with the 4.8s. Ready to go for a run tomorrow.
