I have a few wheel and tire questions.

Ok i am about to buy new tires and possibly beadlocks. Im looking at these beadlocks http://www.dwtracing.com/products/atv/litecast/Drift i race xc and i know that i need 10x5 fronts but all they offer for rears are 9x8. I run razr 20x11x9 tires now and i was just wondering exactly wat the rim sizes meant. Could i use these beadlocks or do i need 9x9. Thanks!

The 9x8 is the better choice IMO. It seems to hold the tire on better for XC racing and gives a little more sidewall bulge so rocks and roots can't get to the bead.

I agree.

9x9=9in height 9in width 9x8=9in height 8in width as mentioned the narrower wheel allows the tire to bulge thus protecting the rim and id def go with beadlocks for xc me and my buddies have lost beads on mx tracks and you xc guys have alot more nastys out there haha
