Do I need spacers for Sportsman 700?

Have an 02 Sportsman 700. Going to order tires and wanting to put 26-10-12 on front and 26-12-12 on rear. Do I need spacers for the front or wont the rub? Going with the GBC Dirt Devil 2s. Thanks!

From what I hear flipping the tierods is enough. I'm in the same situation with my 500 HO.

if you dont flip them, then yes you will need at least 3/4" spacers.

Spacers

I would go with the spacers. They will widen the stance a bit and provide a more stable ride.
