Default Will these tires fit my rim CORRECTLY?

I have a 650 Rincon with stock tires 25-8-12 and 25-10-12. I am looking to put Bighorns on and want to go a little taller and wider. 26-9-12 and 26-11-12. Will they fit my rim correctly as far as width goes. Not worried about clearance, just if they will fit my rims?

Thanks

Should be just fine. The rim diameter is the same, and that is the most important thing. The new tires are only 1" wider, so that shouldn't be a problem either.

We went from stock 25x8x12 25x10x12 over to 26x10x12 26x12x12 on a Grizzly's with stock rims no proplem.

The number regarding rim size is the last number listed

1st #: 25 -- tires height (not always true height -- but close)
2nd #: 8,9,10,11 and 12 -- tire width
3rd #: Rim Diameter

As far as Bighorns go, they run larger to actually height, the 25" Bighorns run almost 26" once installed.

And wether or not tires fit on your stock rims depends on the width of your stock rims. if it is an 8 inch wide rim a 12'' wide tire should fit good, but if it is a 7 inch wide rim a 12 might bubble over too much, you might want to look into a beadlock rim, or beadlocking the stocks, if possible.
