I have the stock 25x8x12 Dunlop tires on front and stock 25x11x12 Dunlops on the back.
I am going to buy 27" MudBugs shortly. I will buy 27x12x12 tires for the back. My question is this:
For the front, can I use 27x12x12 or do I have to use 27x10x12 tires? I ask this as I want to know if they will hit the tire wells? My buddy has 27x10x12 on the front but his is a 2001 500 Cat and the 2002 500i looks like it has more room.
Thanks

Wolfaslov, you have a width of 8" rim on the back so 27x12x12 will fit. But you have a width of 6.5" on the front so go with 27x10x12 and have 1/2 lbs more air in the front tires. Now if you buy new rims, all the same size (8" in width ) you might need wheel spacers so you can put the same size tire (27x12x12) all around.
