I'm in the market for new tires and rims, front and back. Got my 03 blaster about 2 months ago and am now starting to change some things. I've changed to a banshee axle and am now ready for tires. I've done some research on here regarding rear tire sizes and it appears that 20x11x8/9 are popular. My question is what size rims can I run on the front and rear and not have to change anything regarding the rest of the suspension? I'm also looking to re-gear so now is the perfect time to do it. Any suggestions on front and rear tire size and gearing combos?

i would get 9" rear rims with 20" tires and fronts, get 20"s or 21"s on 10" rims
18's leave you with little to no ground clearance.
If your buying aftermarket rims get some with an offset if you want it wider.
also gearing really depends on what you want.
Do you want it to be snappy at first and have no top speed?
or do you want to have longer gears and a better top speed?
for the first one, get a 12t front sprocket
for the second one go 14/39 or 14/38?

I've noticed my blaster and my buddies blaster both top out WAY fast in 1st and 2nd, whereas my bro-in laws doesn't. I haven't checked with him on his gearing but plan to. I want to be able to use 2nd gear as right now i'm almost always crusing in 3rd. Any advantage to 21 vs 20 on the fronts?
yea i know what you mean, 1st gear is basically unusable.
i would try a 14t in the front you will like it.
from what i have heard smaller front tires are easier to turn

good combo, personally if were to get new mx style tires id go with the razr2 they have a more aggressive thread
i got the 18 inch razr mx rear tires and they have tones of grip. way better then the stock balloon tires.
i ride trails and sand usually and my tires are work really well in these conditions. i would recommend them especially for the trails
You should get itp gncc tires on ss rims. There some on ebay. For yfz 450. But all you need is yfz hubs
