thinking about getting some new rear rims.. with 20inch 400ex tires

i like the idea having spare tires around and also i like the way they grip

but i noticed on my friends 300ex it seems to set lower in the back more than mine did for some reason but i dotn know if it is because of the tires cause he is really ruff on his stuff i seen him get 10 feet of air and bust his nuts and you know what it is like to see a grown man acturally cry.... its a horrible site anyways i was wondering will it make it a little awkward ??

the 20" rear tires will make it sit a little lower in the rear...........and it will handle way better too. here is a pic of a 300ex with 20" bandits.

Thats one of the things i noticed when i put my bandits on. The are about 1 1/2 inshes shorter than the factory tires. Its pretty much like truck tires. Every maker has their "size". Its not uncommon for there to be an inch difference between the different brands. I like how my bandits sit a little shorter. I also like the lower profile of the 10" wheels. The factory tires have the whole "baloon" thing going on. At least they're not as bad as the factory tires on Warriors.
