Accidentally posted this in the general forum first.
I am about to pull the trigger on some better shoes for my 17 sportsman 570. The stock tires are not cutting it in this PA terrain. I am going with bearclaw htrs. I wanted to go up a size to 26” from the stock 25”. After reading, I would either need spacers or a different offset wheel. So I was planing on grabbing some itp delta steelies with the proper offset. I just noticed that most wheels are only offered in 12x7. That’s cool for the front (stock is 12x6) but what about the rear? Stock size is 12x8 with a 10 inch wide tire... isn’t it going to baloon the tire going an inch narrower on the rim and an inch wider on tires? Not a fan of the baloon look, I like that squared off look... someone correct me if I’m wrong or maybe post some pics of this set up
