I have ordered my 25x13x10 Vamps for the rear of my Sportsman 500 and 25x9.5x12 supers for the front of it. I was wondering if these tires will fit because of their width increase. I'm worried about the rears rubbing on the anti-roll bar on the rear because the 11" stockers are pretty close. Also on the front, the 8" stockers are close to the shocks. I would appreciate any info on this because I should get my tires any day now and I want to make sure they will fit before I mount them. Thanks a lot!! I hope I made a good choice with these!!
P.S. If I do need wheel spacers, where is a good place to get them? I don't see them very often and I hope someone knows. Later!

Check with Highlifter.com for wheelspacers made of graphite. They are $83-139, depending on the bolt pattern.

First off, I'm not paying 140 bucks for some little ol' spacers. I'll just go down to the hardware store and buy a bag of washers for $2.00. I didn't get new rims and I would like it if anyone can tell me from personal experience if they fit or not. Please reply asap!! Thanks.
