I believe it is so you can have a tall tire with a short side wall. That way you will have less tire roll. I am 10" rims for flat track.

The only thing 10 inch rims are good for is as oynot400 said,,flat track and maybe stadium series races with small rolling jumps,,I wouldn't want them in the woods or a mx track,,but I think i have seen people use 10's with paddle tires in the sand.

I"d have to say NO,,but I guess if you put like 22 inch tires on them then they wouldn't be so bad.

I am not sure, they will raise the ground clearance a little more. A taller sidewall tire should ride a little smoother, just another thing to think about. Check the tire that you want to run and see if they even offer it for a 10" rim.

I run 10" rear rims with my 22" XCT Holeshots for cross country, this helps eliminate the tire flex in turns. My justification was having a 9" rim for 20" tires made sense to go to a 10" rim for 22" tires. Make sense?

Moocazen, I would recommend having the dual beadlocks in the rear!!:macho

It seems to me that K&K only take care of the customers that are in driving distance. They screwed me on my FCR. :grr
They are the worst that I have dealt with yet. I have heard of people around here getting the same treatment. I will never do buisness with them again and will discourage anyone else from going there.

RICO:

I think what he meant was Hiper only makes the single-sided beadlock for the rear in a 10". Dual beadlocks for the rear come in several sizes. My cousins are 11x9's.
