I just bought a mountain bike yesterday. I would like to try a fat tire bike,but figured this would be a start. Would I need different rims to mount 2.5" tires?


Rims, probably not. I run a 2.3" tubeless on the front, with a 25mm wide rim. I'd not hesitate to try a 2.5" for grins. But will you be able to run 2.5" tires in the rear of your bike without rubbing on the chainstays?
