Can I fit 12 inch wide tires on the front rims?

[RedRider_AK]

I have an 06 Big Bear 400 with the SRA (straight rear axle). I want to know if I can fit 12 inch wide tires (Blackwater XT's, 27 inch tall) on the stock front rims, or will I have to scavenge around for some rear rims to stick on the front of my beast. Also, will that even work, or is the offset too much and the tires will rub on the shocks or something. I am putting a 2 inch lift on it when it comes in the mail.

Thanks for the help guys!

you better go ahead and get some wider wheels ...the beads will never want to seat right and the stock front wheels are just to narrow
