You should be good I bought rear 26x11-12 and front 26x9-12 on my little 350 Grizzly and was not even close to rubbing on anything.

One inch wider than stock? Should be no sweat. Are you even close to rubbing with the current tires? Especially at full compression? Keep in mind true size varies from one manufacturer to the next, Ireally would not expect any issues with that close of a tire.

Also remember out of the one inch wider only half goes towards the ATV so your only needing 1/2 inch of clearance.

One inch wider is usually not a problem. Any wider than that and you might have problems with clearance, especially on front tires. I assume you're talking about only the rear tires, the front tires are 25x8x12 stock, just as they are on my Grizzly. Honestly, if I buy new tires for it, I will most likely just keep stock size and just get something a bit more aggressive. Might go to 26" but that would be about it. Bigger tires add weight and that puts more stress on your cv axles, not to mention they rob power and the added unsprung weight increases your braking distance.
