I am looking for mud tires and I want to get realtors, the size I would like to get are 25-12-9, would these fit on stock size rims? or would I have to buy a different size?

Yes, they will fit on your wheels but it will be pretty hard on your bike! You may want to get 22's instead.

do u mean hard on the engine? would it have enough power to spin them? i would like to get 25's because of the ground clearance, and it would give me a faster top speed, i would probably put on a 14t sprocket though....

It will be hard for the motor to turn them, and it will be hard on the clutch. It will also wear axle and swing arm bearings quicker. The tire may rub on the pipe when the suspension is compressed too.

I messaged dennis kirk and they said that the 12" tires are to wide for the stock rims, then I looked at rocky mountain atv and they sell the realtors as a packaged deal for them, which is right?

don't get 25's, my friends got a set of 25 inche tires on his warrior and it makes his warrior look really dumb. XC racers are concerned most about ground clearence yet they biggest they go is 22 inch. i have 11 inch tires on my stock rear rims i would think a 12 inch wide would could fit too..
