Can I run a 26 9 12 on the front of my 400 without spacers with stock rims?

Really like the SS 216, what offset would I need?

Tires will be Radial reptiles.


Thanks,

From what I read on here. I know if you get a 4+3 offset you can run a 9" on the front. I have a set of ss212 and zillas 27x9 12 and 27x11 12 waiting to be put on.

I put 28/9/12 tires on the front of my 07 sportsman 800 and they were rubbing the rubber of the tire rod ends, I had to put spacers on mine

Thank you. How wide of a spacer did you use?

I believe it was 1", I'll run outside and look at it in a minute

Do you have a pic of your quad from the front with the spacers?

If you do not want to run the spacers you can also flip your tie rod ends to allow the room for a 9" tire. Otherwise a 1.25" or larger spacer is needed.

Thank you for the ideas. I will add 2 spacers to the list.

When I ran my spacers on the front my front tires where also wider than my rear tires and to some this was very odd looking and after i didnt like the tires i replaced them with new rims and tires to the ones I got now. Some also add a smaller spacer in the rear to offset the difference of adding them in the front. I believe i have a set of spacers in the garage that i used for a week if you need pictures.

I did 1 1/2" on all corners. I noticed better stability with the spacers too. I had to buy a 60" plow for mine since the next lower size was not as wide as the wheel base with the spacers installed

Thank you so much. I like the look of that. I think I will do the HL coils, thenget tires, and a clutch kit. Can get the fancy rims later on.

No problem, clutch kit is on the birthday/christmas list for me lol
