    200x build

    Hey guys this is my first post. I picked up a 84 200x in bad shape and tore it all down for a rebuild. I just got the frame and a few other parts back from the powder coaters today and now I have a few questions before start ordering parts. First one is I am looking for gold back rims and not having much luck and the second is about a front tire. Plan on running 20x10x9 on the rear and I am thinking with the shorter rear that I might be better off running a shorter front. Maybe 22x7x11. have any of you guys had any experience with this?

    id run a shorter front if you run a shorter rear but make sure if you get a smaller rim that the brake still fits first

    I guess i am not understanding why i would want to run a 10in front rim? Really help would be great. I started putting it together today and want to order parts asap. So i guess i want to know if there are any probs running a 22x7x11 front tire, where to find gold 9in rear rims and if there are any spring up grades for the front end. Thanks again.

    Nope no problem running a 22x7x11 front tire on a stock rim. I'm running a Dunlop KT151 and several others on here are as well
