Tie rods to flip or not to flip?

That is the question. I got some stock wheels and tires off a Polaris Ranger today and the front 9" wide tires are just hitting the tie rod ends. Should I flip them or get wheel spacers?

I think wheel spacers would work better.

Wheel spacers for sure, just don't go any larger (wider) than you have to, so you don't put added stress on the wheel bearings.
