20" tires on 8" rims?

[rtm1216]

How would 20" tires handle on 8" rims? I know that 9" would be preferred, but I already have a set of 8" beadlocks and can get a good deal on a set of new Razr 20x11x8's.

Thanks.

What kind of riding? My friend has a pair and even in trails they roll so much.

I do mostly trail riding. A friend of mine has the same set-up but on a Blaster. He doesn't have any problems, but the Blaster is also a lot lighter than a 400ex. Would the weight make a difference?

You should be fine, but if you're wondering now, you might be pissed and want to upgrade later. I'm mad I only got douglas .190 in the rear and not a set of beads.

I already have the beadlocks for the rear. That's why I'm thinking of keeping them.

OIC, my bad, you should be fine, if you already have the beads go ahead. You'll save some money.

i have that same set-up and i think it rides just fine. if you only run about 4lbs in the rear tires then they will roll a lot, but if you run about 8lbs they won't roll that much and should be just fine. hope this helps.
