Default wheels for 1999 LT300 King Quad

I have a 1999 LT300 King Quad that has 11 inch front wheels. I am wanting to upgrade to 12 inch wheels. I found 1 wheel on rockymountain but it is a discontinued model and they have no suggestions. It is a 4/140 bolt pattern.
Any ideas of where I can find 2 front wheels new or used that are 12 inch?
Can I swap out front hubs to allow a different bolt pattern?
Kind of stuck here now.

What is you reason for changing the 11" rims? Are the rims banged up? lots of nice tires made for 11" rims out there.

Just want the same size all the way around and also to get that extra 1 inch of height. These atv's are not very tall at all. Been a great one, I have had it 9 years now.

A rim change will not give you extra height only a tire change will do that. A 25x8-11 is the same hight as a 25x8-14

The 300 is locked geared for a 1 in difference between the front and back wheels.

If you go bigger in the front tires the back tires will have to be changed also to be 1in higher than the fronts once again.

Did not know that, so if I but a bigger front tire to get the same height as back tire, it will not mess with the ratio they had it lock geared for?

No you will always have to have a 1 " smaller fronts at all times. If you move to a 25" front tire then you are forced to have 26" rear tires so the front and back do not fight each other while in 4wd or diff lock mode.

Your stock tires are 24" fronts and 25" backs currently?

That is correct, I also had bought a set of used ( practically new ) stock 12 inch tires that a guy took off his brute force. The back ones are 25 so all I have to do then is buy the 24's for the front.
