Does anyone know if I can change the front 9.5x24 front tires on a MFWD to 11.2x24 with 16.9x30 rears. I don't know the equation to check it myself so any help would be appreciated.

If this is typical :

approx 120" rolling cir for a 9.5 and approx 130" for a 11.2 ......

thats almost a 10% increase......something has got to give, you better be on something that can give and take rather than your final drive system.

Only if you increase the rear tires as well.;)
Like 85Hokie said, it's too great of an increase of a ratio, and you will damage something. :eek:
