I have holeshot mxr4's on t-9 beadlocks that are 18/10/8. I bent both rims pretty bad,and I was wondering if I put 18/10/9 on my stock rims if it's pretty much the same performance, or will there be any more side roll because of the 1 inch difference. Anybody using 18's on 9 inch rims?

We use both 8" and 9" rims for MX. The 9" will slide out in the corners more due to less slide wall flex, Otherwise they are about the same.

im running 18s on 9s and so far im loving it i like how you can slide so easily. but it also seems like i have more control.
