guns4children Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Hey guys I’m going to get me a pair of bearclaws for this season. I’m going with the 22inch to give my fat ass some more clearance in the trails we ride so this year I feel more like I’m on a quad and less like I’m on a road grader. I know the rims I have now are 9inch and they work good on my holeshots, but I know the bearclaws are a heavy tire to lug around so I want to know if I should go up or down in rim size. They are all out of 9inch at rocky mountain so I could get the 10 or 8 inch. I don’t even know if the rim size would help make them easier to spin so I thought I would ask. Quote
flamingshee 666 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 thats a awful heavy set of meats youll be putting on the back of her i dont imangine rim size will lighten it enough really to notice.. Quote
midlifecrisis Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 I hasve a set of 22" bear claws for sale, theyre 10" rim Quote
armyvet Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 the weight of the tire wont really change too much with rim size especially with that tire design.If you go with a 8in rim the tire will have a taller side wall.22s look huge on sportquads.But whatever works for you.You might want to add a tooth on the rear if you go to a 22,will be harder on clutch especially slow going through bush Quote
