Have a 2005 recon 250.Snorkel,2" lift,hmf exhaust,super swamper 22x12.5 rear tire,was wondering if i could run 27"x12" laws?

I don't know if I'd say run. Walk may be more appropriate.

I don't think they will fit without rubbing.

This.

A 250 is not going to be happy about turning 27's...especially in mud. I would also be concerned with broken axles.

By the way...welcome to the site.

Since you said shoes, I'm going to assume drum brakes. You bled the brakes, but are the slave cylinders frozen? Remove the drum, squeeze the brakes, and see if the shoes move out. When you squeeze the lever, is it firm or mushy?

Also, make sure you have the brake shoes adjusted up good before you bleed them.

thx for the welcomes,shoes are adjusted up,lever is mushy.

Still have air in the system. If you're not using a vacuum bleeder, try one.
