motodrumer58 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I ice race here in Michigan. I use a 8 inch rim on the rear of my 250r. This year im running a banshee in the open class. Should i use a 8 or 9 with the 10 on the front i am unsure. Anyone ever set one up? Looking for any advantage. I am looking for win. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOS_350x Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Im not too shure with ice. But when it comes to clay or dirt, The larger the rim the less side-bite you will get. I try to stick to 8's because in the turns and comming out of them it hook up soo much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motodrumer58 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I am going to go with a 9z. I dont want to spend the cash on another pair of rims. So far my set up is front and rear lowering kit rocky Baumler port work pulse charger pipes FAB toomey silencers Dura blue sway bar thanx to bansheehq for sale v force 3z 19cc domes front and rear spacers 3" looking to get a hinson clutch Skittles and I also set up a 87 R with 8" rear 826 chins hooks up great just needs more motor. The four strokes are tuff for the old r. I am hoping to put a cpi puma in her soon. I should have them ready for the ice next weekend. I will post some pics. thanks again for the info.....

They only come in 10's well at least thats all i can get around here. As for nobbies i stick to the 8's. That all depends weather your running on a cushion track or clay. With the 8 in rim you get more sidewall roll. this giving you more side bite and it helps in the turns to get more traction, it really helps when you got alot of HP your trying to get to the ground. Motodrummer, If you take off your front lowering kit you will get alot better rear wheel traction. And for that R, You dont need a puma to run with the 450's a good ported stock cyl can hang with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
