Wanna run bigger tires on 08 Sportsman 500 H.O.

I just bought this 2008 500 thats in really good condition. Still looks brand new. Anyways, it has the aluminum wheels with 26's on it and I would like to either run 27s or 28s but it looks a larger tire will scrub the tie rod and the hub/strut. What is the work around for this? Is there a kit, or wheel spacers, or lift kit that will keep the front tires from rubbing?

there are wheel spacers for the front to clear the struts.I put them on my 05 800 with 10 wide on the front and 12 on the back and no problem just needed a 1 inch spacer.goes good now.
