No AWK rear tires, nor skinny Ass!LOL

Okay has any tried skinny rear wheels? I'm thinking of doing something like this.
Quad Torque :: View topic - OMF Skinny Rims For Sale - DS650, Honda & Suzuki

Going to make plates for the front rims to fit the back wheels and fit something like kenda bearclaws 22x8x10.

why are you considering this stephen? wouldnt you loose footprint and therefore traction?

as you know in the bushveld we are riding a lot of (tweespoor paaitjies) so the fat rears is all ways on top of the "middelmannetjie" and is not the best ride to have. Also some ground clearance! I've seen alot of the guys in the GOC are also using them in races these days.

ya I know what you mean about the middlemannetjie, pick one rut either left or right and the other sits on it.

I also had a prob with ground cleareance and went with 22 11 9's. I do a lot of mud so the skinny's would never work for me.

I worry about the back end being very loose of gravel. it would be a highly specialized "mod"
