Default 27" gators on a stock height '01 500?

Can I put 27x10x12 on the front and 27x12x12 on the rear of my '01 500 manual? Do I need/want spacers, if so, what size, 1" or 1-1/2"?
I couldn't find any pictures of an '01 with this size in a search, any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Rob

the 27" gators weigh 35.7 lbs.
the mud lites weigh 26.7 lbs thats a big differance.
i have 28" gators on my cat and thay keep on braking my axels.
the 28" gators weigh in at 40lbs each and thats why its so hard on parts
so now im going with the mud lites on my new honda.

Yes, 27's of any type will fit. Don't know about if you were to put 12" wide tires on the front, but most people don't try that crap.

If youy put 12s on the front you would need spacers,with the 10s you will be fine.

Thanks guys, yes, I will have 10's on the front, not 12's. Also, thanks for the weight information, I may try the Mud-lites instead.


Thanks again, Rob

Might look at the Kenda Executioner as well, they weigh about the same as the Mud Lites, maybe less.

Try this go to bottom of page. I think they offer more sizes than this. I know they have 25" and 26" and according to one web sight they have oe will have 27". Do a google search for kenda executioner.

Thanks, I searched, and called around, no on seems to have anything but the 25's, and no listing's yet for 26 or 27's as of yet. They do look like a sweet tire though.
