I am considering upgrading my stock 25x8x12 front and 25x11x12 rear to 27x9x12 front and 27x12x11 on my 08 sportsman tourning 800. Want to use my stock rims. Do I need spacers? Any other issue i might encoutner

 

im in the same boat, i like the camo steel rims on my x2 but the little stock tires dont look right, what spacers are the right ones to get. i mostly want the bigger tires for snow so maybe a second set of offset rims for winter use would be a better option and swap them back come summer

8"wide will fit no problem but the 9" wide may hit the tie rod ends in the front.
I know 26x9 will rub but since the 27" are a little taller they may clear. If not you can easily flip the tierod ends to underneath the steering knuckle. Nothing to buy!
