since hi per tech doesn't make 8x8 rims the 18x11x8 turf tamers will not fit on the 9x9 or 10x10 rims will they???

give me some info, how do the holeshots compare to the tamers?? i know they will fit on the hi per rims.

thanks

I thought Hiper did make a 8x8.

Well 18x11x8 tires need 8x8 or 9.5x8 rims. So they will not fit.

If you groove tamers nutin can compare to them IMO. I have ran Hole Shot Mxs, Turf Tamers, Razars and Grooved Tamers. The grooved turf Tamers are by far the best over all. As soon as you groove them the straight line traction seems to double. and the sliding ability on them is unreal. Nuttin slides like them. Get some Champion 8x8 beadlocks.

get rear 9 inch hipers with holeshot mxR's They are new. and they are awsome from what i hear. The 9 inch rim is a perfect happy medium betewn sidewall flex and sidewal cushining plus your hipers will flex a bit

On the turf tamers cut off every other knob on every other row, or every 2 rows, whatever you like best but it will take a while to do it especially if you do it yourself. I did this on my 3 wheeler and they clean out nice in the mud and give a little more forward bite i think
