What frame can fit a 3 inch tire?

What hardtail's can fit a 3 inch tire on the rear (nokian galazzodi)
It can be 26 inch or 24 inch.
My 04 torrent used to have a maxxis mobster 2.5 inch on the rear and that tire fit perfectly anything over 2.5 would of been pushing it. (Its bullshit they should make wider wheel arches, who the hell designs these frames, they need to be taught a lesson)

Just list the bikes that you know which can fit a 3 inch tire.

If anyones got some photos of a 3inch tire on a hardtail send some pics.

[-DAvo]

just taking a stab but im guessing some of the more exotic frames would?

ie 24 porn king, le toy..? correct me if im wrong

[brodes]

who would want a 3 inch tire on a hardttail anyway, wat the hell would u use it for. Reason they dont make big wheel arches is mainly cos u dont need em that big

[lotec]

evil imperial, 25 cycles frames will fit a 24x3" even .243's i think do, although youd be pushing it, theres a lot of them out there but as has been said, why would you want to do it?

[alchemist]

Most of the Surlys will fit a 2.7" you might get a 3" to fit if you use discs. The Pugsley (http://www.surlybikes.com/pugsley.html) will fit a 4".

Man thats sweet. I like someone who doesnt cry about rolling resistance.

How much did they set you back and how much room have you got either side of the frame?
