P700 10" wide tires on stock front wheels?

[Mdtfc]

I just ordered a set of 4 27x10x12 raceline bruiser tires. I like the look and functionality of running the same size tire on front and back. Can I run a 10" wide tire on my factory front wheels? Anyone doing this? Anyone have pictures? I guess if I need to I can get new wheels or look for 2 factory rear wheels to run on the front. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

The tires on the front will end up being a little taller than the rear. I'm no mechanic, but that might be extra wear on the gearing when in 4x4.

I just did it on my Honda Foreman, with stock wheels, and in the same tire size you have listed. I have also done it on previous ATV's as well. Technically speaking @eastenn is correct, but I don't think it will be drastic enough to hurt anything. If you want to play it safe, don't engage your pioneer 700 in 4x4 on hard surfaces, which you shouldn't have a need for in most cases. People do it very often, I think you'll be fine.

Yep It won't hurt anything if anything it will hurt is your tires.They will wear funny on pavement

Stock rear wheels will rub the caliper ever so slightly when mounted to the front without wheel spacers.
