    changing rim size

    In which ways would it affect my 250r to go from an 8" rim to a 9" rim? or would i be better off staying with the 8" rim instead?

    If you switched to a 9 inch rim you would have to rejet your carb.














    Just kidding. Stick with the 8 inch rim.

    Only rejet...thats not bad, i figured i would have to rebuild the top end to do that...lol


    only thing bad about the 8" rims is doesnt seem to be a big tire selection for them

    I like 9" wheels with 20" tires and 10" wheels with 22" tires.

    tires

    mx I'd say stay with 8" rim and 18" tires, but if your a trailrider go with the 9" rim and 20's plus the manufacturers make 18" tires for the 9" rim now, if you put a 20" tire on a 8" wheel it's gonna have lots of roll in the turn which is bad.
