07 Sportsman 500

i have a couple questions, i got a set of mudzilla's tires available to buy. The stock tires on my quad are Front 26x8 r12 , rear 26x11 r12 the tires i want to put on are 27x9 r12 and 27x12 r 12. Will these fit with no prblems im read somewhere that those mudzilla's are the largest you can put on the stock quad. just wanted to verify this with anyone that has done this. Also i would like to do a lift kit, easy to build or best to buy, and could someone point me in the right direction on info on building or buying.

thx

you should have no problems running those without a lift, a lift will put strain on your cv joints.

Stay away from lift kit. It will cost you down the road.
Take a good hard look at the Swamplites.

No lift! Those will fit but are very rough.

I have a set of outlaws on my 2005 Polaris, I went with spacers, you can pick them up in a number of places. I would think 1 inch to 1.5 inch would be more than enough to get the clearance you will need. They are just bolt on, it took me no time to do it and really makes a big difference.

wouldnt go with the spacers on the polaris. i put a set on mine put way to much stress on the front end. i have a 2007 sportsman with polaris aluminum wheels and i pulled the spacers off and just put a 9" wide tire on the front and a 12" on the back, worked fine.

A buddy of mine has 27x10x12 mudgears on the front of his polaris the right front does rub a slight bit (not enough to hurt anything) so I would suspect a 27x9x12 would fit without any problem.
