If you go any larger than a 14 tooth in the front you will have problems with your case saver fitting. I had to grind mine down to fit a 14 on. you would be better off droping 2 teeth in the back

k well when i went to this http://home.earthlink.net/~gellett/mph.htm i was playing around with it and like the 22in tires go up to 64 mph and that 18in i got now only get up to 52.33 and when i went to a 37 tooth back it only went up like one mph would it better for me just to get a rev box or something cause i sorta figured im not getting those extra mphs back unless i go to a 22in again

the only way you can get the speed you had with the 22in, with 18in tires is by moving all the way down to a 31 tooth in the rear (with 14 up front). i dbout you can get anyone to make them that small. iv heard of some people running 15 in the front without a case saver if you really want the 18's thats an option. I would personally just got with 20in tires.

I have to agree, it sounds like the best bet would be 20" rears. I run 14 tooth front and e 37 rear with 20" rear tires Decent over all combination with a stock engine. Pulls well and has decent top end.

won't hurt your quad at all. I have a 36 tooth that I want to put on but have just been to lazy.
With the 18" rears you may need even smaller than 36.
