26 inch tires on ITP SS212’s for 2000 sportsman

Hi everyone! I have a 2000 sportsman 500 that I’ve owned since new and up graded the rims to the ITP SS212, 12 inch. Will 26x9x12 fit on the front without rubbing?? In the back there seems to be a lot of room in the for 26x11x12. I bought 25x10x12’s, but they looked so small on them with the upgraded rims so I returned them.

If so what’s a good all round tire. I don’t do a lot of muddling, but plow a lot in the winter.
Thanks!!

Wheels or spacers?

Hello everyone this is my 1st post. I have a 2005 700 sportsman and I found a great deal on some 26X9X12 take offs. I know they won’t fit without spacers but I read somewhere that they will work on some machines if you mount them on itp delta steel rims with a 4+3 offset. I would rather do that if they work cause my rims are pretty banged up but I don’t understand how they could work because the stock rims measure 4+2 offset. I think that the 4 means they are the same distance away on the inboard side. Has anyone here ran into this and what did you do? Thanks

’09 Sportsman with new shoes

I was tired of the 489’s and decided to do new wheels and tires. I bought the set from KJ Motorsports and they are great to work with and fast shipping. I went with 14×7 4+3 SS216 wheels and 26×9 & 26×11 Kenda Bearclaw HTR’s. After all the post on here on the HTR’s I had to give them a try.

Bearclaw HTRs on HD5 Beadlocks

Just got these installed! Can’t wait to try them out tomorrow. I definitely like the look of the machined HD5s over the regular black. Just the little amount I did ride it, I could feel a big improvement in handling over the stockers and evn my Original Bighorns that I had on my 850. It feels like it is riding on rails.

So the new tire shows up today and go to have the rest mounted and boom another bead breaks….so i call them and order another tire and have another one on order.
