spacers will i need them

It is time for new tires. The stock front are getting worn down. Stock tires size is Front(26x8 12r) and rear (26x11 12r). I want to get Bighorn 2.0 in 26x9 12r and 26x11 12r.

I know I might need the spacers on the front, but will i need spacers on the rear?
Would it be better to go with the 25x8 12r and 25x10 12r. I know the bighorns run bigger than stated.

I had 25x9 (front) 25x 11 (back) and I went to Mudwolfs 26x10 (front) 26x12 (back) and my front right tire was rubbing the tie rod ends so i needed 1" spacers for front

Hell ya I had fun so worth it! before i bought my tires i did some research around the net and i found out that you can go 1" bigger and be able to leave rest stock but apparently my ATV was not that case it may also be because i wrote it off my smoking a tree little over a year ago (being a dumb ass) and needed to replace the whole front end 3 grand later (not worth it) but looks like your ATV is pretty new from your pic so you should not have any problems but if you do go bigger you need to make sure the inner tire is not rubbing on anything like for example the tie rod ends like mine but if that is the case just get a spacer's but i did read a bit about your tires hitting your fenders after going bigger and i know a guy that drilled new holes on his floor boards then moved the floor boards back about 1-1.5" which moved the fender back. My ATV when the front suspension is squatted it rubs the fender (which is not a big deal) and my front bumper (which worries me) waiting on a response for that fix on another thread.
