I need to know what tires and offset beadlocks Rims would be good for racing mx? I want some that slide good without really catching an edge that much.

There are a million and one threads on this..

18" rear tires 20" fronts. The offsets depend on your equipment (length of arms and axle)

I really like the MXR6 rears with Razr Cross fronts for the dirt i usually ride (soft). I want to try Hoosier or Goldspeed tires though, they seem to be good. My practice shoes are kenda klaws and MXR6 fronts.. (good for the hardpack I practice on)

The ideal front offset is 4+1 bringing the wheel closer to the hub reducing feedback at the bars. If you arent quite wide enough with 4+1 then go 3+2 which is a bit wider and gives you a bit more feedback.

For the rear I think 3+5 what you'd want.

Try searching for more info with the search function, you'll find answers much faster.
