How wide can I go without rubbing

I have a 2011 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO. The tires it came with aren't quite up to par for my standards. I want something that can play in the mud a little harder, but still be able to handle the trails. I am looking at some mud lite tires but they don't offer a 25-11-12 size so I'm looking at the 25-12-12 for the rear of the wheeler. But, is a 12" tire going to be too wide and rub?

Hello & welcome!! Give the STI MUD TRAX XL's a look. Got 9" on the front & 11" on the back. Been a great all around tire & are wearing great!!! Got over 2200 miles on them & very little tread loss! No plugs or patches,boots either. Gonna put'em on the red wheeler when budget allows.

He also has aftermarket rims with different offsets which allow for 9's up front, very badass rims if I do say so myself

If you stay on stock rims the 12's in the rear should work but 9's up front will most likely rub the TRE without spacers or offset wheels. Here's my 25x8x12 on factory rims, not much room to play.
