Just remember that if you go bigger on the front you have to have the same diameter for the rear so the rotation rate is the same.  The problem then is that putting bigger tires on the rear may bring them too close together and they will rub against each other.  I heard of a guy actually cutting the rear frame assembly between the axles and welding an additional 6" piece in so he could put big tires on.  A little extreme but one heck of a machine now.  I have heard there is a lift kit for the front which might solve the clearance issues for the front fenders but I have yet to find it.
