Default 97 Sportsman Rims - Can I change sizes?

My 97 Sportsman 500 has the factory 12/10 frt/rr rims, can I go to the newer 12/12 combo or are the bolt patterns different?

While I havent Physically tried the wheels yet, I purchased Some 12" 4/156 rear wheels off a 2004 Sportsman 400. According to the info I looked up, the majority of Polaris Utiliy 4x4 are 4/156


Xplorer/Sportsman 500 4x4, 96-08 (R) 25x11x10 10x8, 4/156

Sportsman 400, 01-08 (R) 25x11x10 10x8, 4/156


Sportsman 600 4x4, 03-08 (R) 25x11x12 12x7, 4/156

I sure hope it right [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Look the same to me. Ill have to try them on soon.

I changed my 98 over to ITP 12 inch front and back. I guess 14's are the big deal now.
