Default To much offset?

Got a set of itp 589 27 11 r12 on the back and 27 9 r12 on the front on the stock rims. Just wondering if i get a 1"spacer for the front since its rubbing the tire rod will it give me to much offset. Or do i need to get a spacer for the rear as well to give it a better look

i had 27's on my 800 and didn't need any spacers for the back. you shouldn't have any issues w/ that set up on back. i know some people said they flipped the tie rod the other way w/ the stock rims to make them fit. i had itp rims on mine.

i flipped the tie rod on mine after i ran spacers for a while i didn't like the spacers cause i couldn't drive it in the back of my truck anymore the tie rod is easy to do two bolts and a quick alignment doesnt take long and works great

I put a 3/8 washer on every stud behind the wheel and they cleared on my old 700, still had plenty of stud for the lug nuts, have also flipped the tie rod, be sure to re-alighn it

I also put washers between my rims and hub. It works really good for my 05 700 sportsman. Two thousand miles so far and no problems. But I also replaced the stock wheel studs with I longer machine bolts (grade 8 of course)

They didn't work for my new rims that I put on... I went from the standard steel wheel to a aluminum rim set up so I needed a longer stud because of that. But I don't think the Factory studs are very long at all... I think I spent a total of $8 on washers and new studs
