Want a different set of rear rim/tire for my '83 200X. What are you running?

[Rob Canadian]

Currently have a brand new set of Kenda Klaw XCR (22x11-8) Looking for something a little lower profile.

Trails I ride have everything. Sand, clay,light rocks, hard packed... So looking for an all around type tire. Thinking something along the lines of Maxxis RAZR series.

Bigger rim? 9" or 10"? Not going to change my gearing as for most part the trails I ride you can't fo full out. Tight single track for most part.

I will toss the Kenda set back on for snow riding or mudding, water crossings...

You wont have to rear gear much going down to a 20 inch tire. 18's prob however. you need to watch what tires you put on a 200x due to it now having a ton of break free power, a lot of newer tires have killer side bite which will just dump you off, and opem tread pattern will help. Something like a stock 250R tire or z400 or 400ex tire will be fine on the back. you should be able to find a nice set of take offs on rims on ebay prob.

attached below in mine with 18's and they measure 18" also. The best tire i have road on with a lower HP motor were the stock tires that came on the back of a raptor 250, self cleaning and went thru anything. If you find a set of them id buy them and throw on a set of banshee or raptor hubs and call it a day.

I am running 22x11-10 itp wheels with itp mud lites. I measured at 44 1/2" wide at 4+6= 2" offset. If I did the math right? How are you getting a 50" wide base? Wheel spacers? If you don't mind me asking.

I have a +4 300ex axle, 450R hubs and OEM LTR450 rims. I may be selling my rim and tire combo after I get 10" rims for 18" fast tekkers.

18x10-8 Artrax MXT-R with ITP 8X8 3+5 offset polished wheels. Love the way it looks but kinda wish it sat a lil higher in back. Whole set up cost me a $166 bucks shipped for everything. I had to change my gearing and put a 14T up front bc i lost ALL top speed. With stock gearing (12T) front, i topped out at a whopping 43mph. With the 14, i havent clocked it, but im probably up around 60 now. Im a big boy though (6' 2" 275lbs)

flip your dog bone around it will raise you about 2" and handle better

So just flip it so the top of the lower shock mount is now the bottom and vica versa? That what u mean?

[Rob Canadian]

Thanks for the replies and the input. Yes that is the look and what I am looking for.

I will have to do some searching around here to find some rims and tires (Or tyres ) Shipping costs to Canada is a joke with anything from E-Bay for most part. Factor in the Dollar the way it is too. I would have to sell my Igloo.

I have learned a lot from reading this thread.

Thanks!

[oldskool83]

yeah just flip the dog bone its .25 longer on 1 leg.

[Rob Canadian]

Well. Found a great deal in Canada.

Ordered 2 Maxxis M958 Razr Cross rear tires. 18X10X8. I wanted 4 ply.

Shipped to my door for $153.00 Canadian funds.

I'm running 20x11-10 on tecate hubs and rims.Innova tires,treaded like holeshots.Made one hell of a difference in the mud here.
Cannot tell you about gearing as i run a CL250 4valve,6 speed engine..

[oldskool83]

not sure why ya want tecate rims on it...the hubs and rim combo will not create any more offset and still keep you like 42" wide which is crazy small.

[lincolnolli]

When i bought th 200x it had smallish steel rims on,probably from some kind of quad.So what i have on now,is more offset and wider rims.I have the tecate parts trike in the garage,so that was free.
It shure handles so much better know,than before.
I never have the feeling i'm rollin over or something.But let me measure that tomorrow.42" mmmh,maybe these rims where not OEM Tecate?Gotta find that out tomorrow...

20/10/9 itp hole shots
20/11/9 itp duro track

I think 20" tires ride the best on any sport style trike i've had so far
