AHH.. but on what rims??
Your gonna need new rims with less back spacing OR spacers to move the tires out from under the machine...
THEN maybe think on a clutch kit....

Most likely yes. (But its close)
On my machine my 26x9 Big Horns would not clear. I simply bought and installed 1" spacers.
Some people find that flipping the TREs and re aligning gets them the needed clearance.
others also find for less than 1/8" more thick grade 8 washers on the studs gains them enough. (Grade 8 because they tend to be thicker. NOT for any strength gains)
Word of warning: Be sure you have long enough studs AND the fewer washers the better. (I don't like even mentioning it and personally would only use ONE washer per stud if I needed it.)

Some claim the spacers offer allot of leverage to the hubs and destroy bearings fast. While they are correct in that there is more leverage applied, I offer its no more than a rim with less offset would and very likely less! Besides, people buy new rims with out a single thought about the leverage...
We are talking minimal numbers here. Like 1" even a less BS rim would be 2" or more...
I would not worry.
Your quite welcome, I am happy to help,
CW
