Beadlock tire wheel size question

[mbx5]

I am looking to add beadlocks.... Most of the rear beadlock rims I am finding used on ebay (my price range - used) are 8"... My tires are ITP GNCC 21 x 7 x 10.... Can you put a 7" wide tire on 8" rim?? Sorry for the stupid question....

I think you have your sizes messed up. You're tires are 21 inches tall, 7 inches wide and the rim is a 10 inch. There's no way you can put those tires on a 8 inch rim. The last number is the rim size.

The 21-7-10 are standard size front tires for the YFZ. The 8in tires you see are for the rear. If you want rims for the front you would need 10in rims. The suggested GNCC set up you should run 22-7-10 or 23-7-10 with 10in rims on the front, and on the rear 22-11-9 with 9in rims on the rear. For motocross its 20-6-10 with 10in rims on front, and 18-10-8 with 8in on the rear.
