    my dx came with yamahauler rims n hubs with it when I bought it, it had 25x13x9's on it. Whether it was maybe the clutch being week showing thru im not sure? but it chattered, seemed to be a bit doggy. I scored a set of 22x11x8s like new for free, picked up some princess auto rims, re drilled em on the mill at work and trimmed the hubs a bit. Its like night and day difference with the 22's, way more power and the clutch seems happier.

    Biggest problem I see with this is that the 225 is shaft drive, which means you won't be able to re-gear it for bigger tires. You're going to end up with zero acceleration and you're gonna eat clutches like crazy, not to mention the stress on the rest of the drive train. Not worth it at all IMO, unless you can figure out a way to lower your gearing on the final drive.
