Highlifter MST's for 05 Sportsman 500HO

Postby ryan3294 » Thu Aug 11, 2005 4:14 pm

I am interested in the new Highlifter MST's for my 2005 Sportsman 500HO. My original stock tires are 26x8 R12 for fronts and 26x11 R12 for rear. Highlifter only has 26X9.50X12 front and 26X12.00X12 rear. Can I mount these MST's on my stock rims? Will anything rub? Will they even fit? HELP!!!

Can you? I think yes.... Will they rub? Maybe.... But you can buy spacers if needed.

I have 26 x 9 x 12 and 26 x 12 x 12.

The fronts rub the fender..on compression. The rim off-set on the ITP rims shouldn't rub anything. Steve's Polaris rims...rub, because the off-set sux.
