I squeezed a 2.3" track using 9 tooth extros (2.52). The lugs just touch the top of the tunnel.

I haven't run it yet, so I don't know if this will be a problem.

I think you might want to make some changes BEFORE the snow flies. You need AT LEAST 1/4' of clearance....if they touch now you will have problems.

Maybe...I found others on SW that were running 9T with 2.25 and weren't having any major problems. That said, I am seriously considering getting some 8T Extros. Know anyone selling any?

I run an 02 HMX w/ 156x16x2.5, 7t Avid extros,19/45 gears w/ stock chain(pull chain tensioner to install chain, then replace tensioner) 5.50" wildchild drop brackets 5.25" down, have to drop the front arm mount down to within 1" of bottom of tunnel to get transfer back, remove inside tunnel braces and put external grip/tunnel stiffners on from MXZX or probably any model will do. If running 16 wide, have to grind down a couple of bolt heads in front on each side(minor). Have 1/4" tunnel clearance, little hard on track speed, but traction and flotation are great with this setup.
If you don't drop the skid out of the tunnel a little, you will have issues with track dragging in tunnel, I have pic's posted in other threads in this section elsewhere.
