12 sportsman on 27’s–need quick advice/–help

Hey guys. First off I apologize for needing this answered so soon. I thought I had some time before I needed new tires but now I have a trip planned in 9 days and I need new tires super soon.

Anyway, I have a 12 sportsman 800 with stock steel rim and now it has the stock tires 25-8-12 and 25-11-12. I have decided on maxxis mud bug tires but I want to move to 27’s. front 27-8-12 and rear 27-12-12. Will these fit my quad? I stayed with an 8" up front so I didn’t rub on the tie rods but on member on this forum said that when the mud bugs are inflated they will still rub? Is this the case?

I was under the understanding that an 8" should fit?

Also will the 12 wide fit the rear?

My issue is I have to order these on line, wait for them to be shipped, and then install them all while still working before my trip. I want to be sure they will fit

I appreciate all your help guys

Thx and happy riding!!
