Default 10" tire on the front of sportsman 500

Ne1 running a 10" tire on the front? Looking at grim reapers and they come in 26/10/12 only. Just wandering what I would have to do to make it work if I would go with them.

You'll have to have wheel spacers or after market wheels with more offset to clear the tie rods. 9" is very close with most tires but 10" will rub with stock set-up. The steering will be stiffer as well.

It will be tougher to steer also.

I went from 8" to 10" on my Honda and did not like the way it steered.

Grim Reapers are great snow tires so i would have to think they are good mud tires too.

I am thinking about reapers or dirt tammers. The tammers I can get in 27s I believe with 9 in. Fronts.
