Default NE1 know if 26-9-12 will fit 06 500 HO?

My stock tire size is 25-8-12 front and 25-11-12 rear.

Looking at Maxxis Zillas, 26-9-12 front and 26-11-12 rear.

Anyone know if it will fit without modifications?

tie rod ends may rub on the front just put some 3/8 washers behind the wheel and it'll solve that problem

X3 on the tie rod ends rubbing. I ended up ordering longer wheel studs from Polaris Extended Wheel Studs #186 I had the old stock studs taken off and the new ones pressed in. Then you can either put a hardened nut and a hardened washer on or just enough hardened washers to space it out the 3/8". I put ITP Mudlite XTRs on my stock rims and they've worked great. Should provide enough room for Zillas too.

wheel studs sounds like to much $ and work

I could do washers, but it looks like I only have room for one washer and my lug nut is going to be at the end of the stock stud.

Is one washer enough?

If not it looks like I'll have to go with mud lite xl's, they have them in the 8" width.

Are you mounting on stock rims?? My question is similiar I have 25-8X12 front and 25-10X12 rear and was wondering if those same Zillas 26-9x12 and 26-11x12 could be mounted on the stock rims without a problem??

Wheel studs are less than $2 a piece if you choose that route.

Aren't the stock PXT's that come on many of the sportsmans 26x9x12 in the front anyways ?

I planned on using the stock rims......guessed it would be OK?

My other option is mudlite xl's but they are a little narrower in back, 10 inches wide vs the stock 11.

I wondered about those not being wide enough for the rim.
They have the right size for the front though.
