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.

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