Numerous quads except Yamaha's and Polaris. that's kinda become the standard these days. Even the 4x4's are using the 4/110 pattern on all 4.

Most current sport quads have that pattern from the 250's on up to the 450's.

What I know for sure:
TRX450R
LTZ400 and it's clones
LTR450
The old 250R Honda


Pretty sure:
300EX
most 250X (know there's some that don't)
250 Sporttrax
250 Suzuki

I'm sure there's others, just those come to the top of my head.

Nope, you won't be able to swap on the fronts.

The bolt pattern is the same and I'd assume the perhaps they'd fit on your rear hubs but I wouldn't guarantee it. There could be some little hiccup in there.

Something to think about if you did try to install the taller tires is clearance issues. Stock rear wheels are 9x8 and have backspacing of 3+5 if I remember correctly and the utility may be 3+4 (12x7 rim I think) so your width may become narrower.

what is it you're trying/wanting to accomplish?

Thanks for your help..

Im not particulary happy with the 20 " rear tires and the 22" front tires I have on the stock Honda 400ex rims. I wanted to go to all 4 rims being 12" that way I could go up to 25x8x12 front tires and 25x10x12 rears tires....I wanted to buy a set of 4 used tires mounted on rims off ebay for this modification but wasnt sure what other models had bolt patterns that would work for my 400ex bolt pattern....

I want the extra tire height because where I ride at, we have to go thru alot of deep mud, and jump train tracks, big fallen trees ..etc....with my 400ex siitting so low on those 20 inch rear tires..it makes it difficult to ride over such big obstacles that the utility atvs do with such ease...

I just got my 23x7x10 Maxxis Razr 2's in and they are about 2 inches taller than the 22x7x10 stocker's.

I'm running 22" Maxxis All Traks in the back and they're a little shy of 2 inches taller than the stock 20x10x9 rears.

The more I think about it, even if you could make it work, there's better tires out there than trying to use stock 4wd's.

BTW, I've looked out there, there's no wheels larger than 10 inches that will bolt right up to your front hubs EXCEPT there is a sand tire set up that uses I think 23" front and rear on 12" rims. If you're dead set on it, you might look into that. I think I remember seeing that kit for about $800 and that wouldn't include the all terrain tires you want to use. Kinda cost prohibitive for most people.
