Title: Re: Rims??? Post by: Ride1Rob on June 07, 2006, 04:57:19 PM I have 10 inch bajas as well as 9 inch beadlocks on my rear. I've run MX,TT, and Trails with both. Now I have bent my 10inch T-9's doing MX but that's because the lips stick out so far and I hit a rock at QuickTraxx this past w/e. So why does he have to get 8's?
Title: Re: Rims??? Post by: ebtrx450r on June 07, 2006, 05:01:48 PM I believe that it's because the tires have a taller side wall that way, and when you land from a big jump you won't bend the rim. One of our friends did that to a set of brand new ones. (#26YFZ)

Title: Re: Rims??? Post by: 53yfz450 on June 07, 2006, 06:49:35 PM yeah stock fronts are fine. they are better that regular T9's they suck. but your better off just buying beadlocks it will save you money in the long run. what kind you getting ;D
