Those are the ones. 5+2 offset front and 2+5 offset rear, correct? How much different will my track be after this?

Will I need to add a spacer to even out again?

Those are what I bought for mine.. but never got mounted before I swapped out to the 1000. They're sharp and will look bad ass! I bought 5+2 for all 4 and went with 26x9 bighorn originals on all 4 so I could rotate them. Plus one spare fits all. I would suggest going that route and adding a 1 inch spacer on the back if you don't like the offset front to back. But I think it's only 1 inch wider in the front without spacers running a 5+2 on all 4. And the only reason for the wider tire on the back is load rating.. the 9" tires are still plenty for the 500.. one of my buddies ended up doing the same set up that I had and is very happy. Some guys are even running 11" on all 4 but for me I went with the lighter weight tire and was happy.

Well that's kinda my point. If I'm understanding offset correctly, wouldn't the 4 + 3 offset take the rubber out another inch per wheel as opposed to 5 + 2?

if you look at your stock rims now the off set is 5+2 so in laymans terms less of the tire would stick out only 2 in" and the 5in"would be towards the inside hence 7in" rim so if you go with 4+3 = 3in" would stick out and 4in" would be inward hence 7in" rim hope this helps
