Do you know what the weight of a 27x12 Outlaw is compared to a 29.5x10???...becuase if the wieght is about the same or close I would go with the 29.5's

Weight isn't the only thing to consider, the 29.5s will be harder to spin even if they aer the same weight. A freind of mine has a 08 BB400 and it will bog to a stop in thick mud with 26" Mudlites, but his is all stock, you may fare better then him but imo the 27s will prob work better.

reduction and the 29.5s. imo your going to break more running the 27 wides on all fours than the 29.5 skinnys not to mention 12s up front are going to be a pain in the rear to turn...

i run 28 9.5 laws on my bear an it spins them with no problem... i've never bogged it down in anything... i ran my buddies skinny 29.5's in his small pit an turned them almost as good as i turn the 28's... a big bear with a gear reduction could prolly turn 30's or maybe even 31's
