Wheels and Tires

Spare Tire Size & Compatibility Question

I have been using my 2013 RZR 900 Orange Madness for 2 years without carrying a spare tire. My Maxxis Big Horn front tire size is AT27X9R12.

At a dealer in Lake Havasu City last week I ran across a used tire and wheel in great shape. When I got it home I noticed it was a 26X9R12 and stood almost one inch taller than my stock 27X9 front tire.

Question—–Can I use it to get back to base camp if I just keep my 900 "out" of 4 wheel drive. Or will it still cause drive train problems even in just single wheel drive?
