Default Rear end : Widest tires possible on pony's?
I know this has been asked several times before, but i've never read a clear-cut answer. I have stock pony's all around and was wondering about the widest/largest possible tires that I could slap on the back without removing/modding anything. Im curious as to what brand will give me good dry/wet traction that wont run be an arm and a leg per tire!

Sorry for the repeat So what #'s am I looking at?

Removal of the quad shocks would allow for how much space? Any negative effects in removing them?

On a stock pony rim, prolly no more than a 255. And that will get you some sidewall buldge.
