So I am currently running 18 inch Holeshots and they are highly impractical for my riding style/terrain (mostly rutted hills and mud). I picked them up for $50 for the pair with good tread and Baja Rims, it was too cheap to pass on.
Anyway, I want to make my gearing wider and increase ground clearance so I was thinking about switching to 22 inch tires. Is anyone running 22's and if so do any of them fit on stock size 8" rims? I'm considering 22x11x8, Is 11 too wide? stock is 21x10x8. Also, will 22's clear the stock plastic heel guards? I know it's only an extra half inch over the 21's. but most tires are more square than the stock balloons so I'm worried about the curved side of the heel guard. My swinger and axle are both stock.
I want to stay relatively inexpensive, so I've compiled a few links to tires I was interested in. I understand that I'll be sacrificing some bottom end over the stock 21's, but I think it will be worth it to gain some ground clearance over ruts and get a little better grip with taller tires. Any suggestions or insight is greatly appreciated.
Tires I'm Considering:
BKT Sport Tires (Razr Knockoff)
Pirelli Rutbusters
AMS Fox Tires
Kenda Klaw XC's
Dunlop KT537A
