if u buy 8 inch rims in the back and keep ur 10 in the front u'll be fine for mxing, the smaller wheel gives better acceleration off the line...go with a smaller tire too like a holeshot 18x11-8

I have 8 inch rims on the Honda and 9 inch rims on my Yamaha, I really can't tell that much of a difference. The only difference is the lower profile tires on the Yamaha (aftermarket tire) and the sidewall doesn't flex as much as on the 8 inch rims. Either way, you can't go wrong.
