Yes they will work. Go to the rocky mt atv site and put in your machine to get the right size. I have 26 inch tires because they were cheaper, lighter and I didn’t need anymore ground clearance.

27's shouldn't rub but close. You'll' be an 1.5 to 2" taller. Spacers are up to you but it's not a bad idea to at least bump the width out the height you go up especially if you toss the sway bar. You'll like Evos.

I went with 9x26-12 Evo's on all four corners mounted on STI HD Beadlock wheels. Evo's do run slightly small so 27's shouldn't pose a problem rubbing, however the P-5 is a narrow machine to start with, raising the CG without widening the stance can be more tippy.
Photos are from March 2018but will give you an idea of how they look on the P-5

26x9x12 on all four corners. Aftermarket 5+2 wheels are a couple inches wider than stock in the front but the rears are where the stock wide wheels would be. So i am kind of running spacers in the front. I like how it turns in tight areas.
