You can get a set of 27" on Ebay for under 4 bills w/free shipping either $340 or $360.I've got about a 1 1/4" between my tierod and stock wheel on my SP500,I didn't want to take chances so I ordered the package deal with the rims.My wife's dad had 27x9's on his stock rims and had no issues,I think they were Swampers but every tire is different and air pressure plays a role to,most larger tire sidewalls puff out a bit on the stock front wheels.I do know the Mud bugs if not mistaken come in a 27x8x12,I've saw them on Ebay as well as Dennis Kirk.PoPo,by what I read the Zillas measure up short the the actual specs where a 27" may be 26 1/2" or so.I'll do some measuring when they arrive and let you know if they are a true 27"

I was going to put 27" zillas on it but I am using the stock wheels without spacers. I wish maxxis would make 27 9 14 and 27 11 14 but I am ready to pull the trigger now. I dont want to try and put 10" wides on the front. I will have to mod the swaybar. The weight between the 28" and 26" is about 10 pounds a set. I also dont know what if any impact it will create pushing snow with the bike setting up higher. I dont know. I am torn between the 26"and 28". I also dont know how much more stress the larger tires will put on the drivetrain.

Well,the Zillas have arrived.Last night I took a homemade 2" lift off the previous owner put on and have the proper lift kit ordered so it is at stock height.Here are some pics of stock 27" Zillas compared to the 25" stock tires.I would had like to have went bigger but I hate to sacrifice too much power plus the extra $$$,the tires are super light.I've got a ton of work to finish so I hope I can get the other side on and see how they ride late this evening
