I have a 2nd set of stock tires and rims and wonder will the rears will fit on the front and clear the suspension with spacers? No compelling reason ‘why’, just wondering.

I could jack it up and try- but figured I’d take the lazy-route and ask.

Thanks.

Mine do. With or without spacers.

Thanks. Does it noticeably affect your ride?

Don't notice much difference. Mine is a 2018. Using the wider wheels all around without spacers, I found the little plastic " cover" on/over the brake squealed against the wheel till it wore down. I think I actually ground it down a bit to stop the sound. I presently have 10" flat profile tires on it and use 1" spacers. I'm going to switch to 27x9" tires with a more rounded profile. I use 26x9" tires all around on 6" front wheels for 50" trails.

What 27x10x12” tires? Can you post a picture? Thanks.

I don’t ride any 50” trails around here so width is not an issue.

The first pic are 26x9x12 ROAD GUIDERs 6 ply on 6" front wheels.
The second pic are 27x10x12 BULLET FREEDOM 8 ply on a rear wheel and a 26x9x12 on 6" aluminum wheel.
The third pic are all four BULLET tires on the P500.

The third picture with the Bullet tires are on 10” rims?
