I want to put larger tires on my atv and use stock rims. Will I have any issue if I put wheel spacers on the front and not the rear. I will have the clearance I need on the rear for my new tires but will be cutting it too close on the front.

 

You won't be the first person to put spacers on the front only, and I never heard of any problems. Just use solid spacers and don't get the things that look like lug-nut extensions.

 

How big of tires are you looking at? I have the same bike as you, but in the 500, I put 26-9-12 on the front and 26-12-12 on the rear on stock rims with no problems.

 

Put 27x10 mud lites on my front & rubber was touching tie rod ends. Stuck a set of HL 1" on the front only. Back was fine. I normally use the after market when I plan on doing decent mudding otherwise run the stockers which are 26 already but I do leave the spacers on. Ditto on going with the solid ones.

Frank, have you should started singing the HEE HAW song.

 

I did the same thing and agree with the solid ones. I actually purchased the lug nut style ones and did not like the way the went on and really doubt they will hold up and then finally found a set of solid spacers. I did install them on the rear as well cuz it looked kinda funny to me with the front wider and all, plus it just increased the stability of the atv without making it any wider than the front.
