Well, im racing MX this year. My banshee has 22 inch razrs with plugs in the side walls etc. they have decent tread left but theyre pretty beat. I want either 19's or 20's. Also i want them installed on a 3-2 offset rim instead of the 4-1 stock. Now my rear tires are rzr 20's that also have decent tread but a bunch of plugs. I want 18 inch rears. Now heres my problem. I can only afford either the fronts or the rears, not both. Id like to get the fronts with the 3-2 offset rims so i actually have some width in the front with my +2 a-arms i just bought instead of the 4-1 offset. Now is it okto run a smaller front tire or same size as the rear? please give me your opinions on which i should get, front or rear? thanks.

get the rears first since they will be the ones moving u forward. and most ppl run 18 rears with 20 fronts.

id keep the 4-1 offset fronts, better handling, get the rears first

actually i say get the fronts first and keep your 4-1 rims. becausethen you will be level and 20 fronts and 20rears isnt a bad setup on a budget and you can laways get 18s later

Thats one great idea, or you could look around for some used rims and get everything in one lick. I really like my Klaws, and the new ITP Holeshot SX remind me of tamers.
