Default Newbie here needing help with rear wheel spacers

New to the forum, so please be gentle......hahahaha

i have a 2006 Honda Rancher ES 350. I do trail riding and hill climbing to and from my deer stands. and some occasional trail rides. Nothing hard core.

my tires are pretty worn out now and i am thinking of getting so new ones. So a buddy of mine has some Yamaha rims and tires he will give me. He said i may need wheel spacers in on the rears. Does anyone know if i will need 2" or 2.5" wheel spacers? if so, can you recommend a good spacer company.

my current set up is this:
fronts : 24x8-12 rears: 24x9-11

Yamaha rim set up is this:
fronts: 25x8-12 rears: 25x10-12

i am not sure how to post a picture to help my story out.

thanks in advance for any and all help.

Unless you have IRS, I don't think you will need spacers to run the Yamaha rims, they should bolt right up, just check clearance on the brake calipers to make sure they don't rub, and you should be good. I got spacers to give my Grizzly a wider footprint, it does make them more stable in the ruts and sidehills, xxbillet, a company that sells spacers on eBay,is where I got mine, I went 1.5" all around, looks nice, and handles a whole lot better, especially cornering at speed.
