What size Turf Tamer on EX

[Winged Warrior]

I am thinking about getting some turf tamers for my 400ex just for play racing.What size should i get .Im thinking 18 inch but the rim size on an 18 is 8 inch and the exs 9 .Can ya get 8 inch rims for a400ex?

sure...........8" wheels off of an old 200EX 3-wheeler is the same bolt pattern I believe..........I would go with 20" tamers for everyday use.

Go with 20's plus they'll fit your stock rims,,,they don't make an 18in tire for a 9 in rim that I know of..

I had 18s Turf Tamers on my 400, ordered them from http://www.rockymountainatv.com and received them pretty quick, got the wheels and tires for cheap. I would recommend some 20s if you do any trails though, I had a little problem with clearance.

whatever you do don't run the 18x11x10 size tire unless you ride nothing but flat smooth stuff cause if you hit a rock you'll bend the rim...i ran 18x11x10 holeshot mx tires and i've bent the hell out them

If ya put 18in tires on a quad and plan on doing trail riding well then ya might wanna pull your head out of your butt first,, 2nd send the tires back and get a tire that's meant for the trails. 18 are for tracks and that's all no questions asked..

1st of all...i didn't run the tires for trails cause i race and ride tracks....2nd of all i bent my rims on tracks with rocks on them...don sit here and tell me to pull my head out of my ***

I'm not pointing the finger at you junior I'm explaining why someone shouldn't get 18in tires... Some people get em because they look cool but don't understand that they aren't worth a crap unless you race...so settle down...em kay...

Thanks Rico and magrath stinks or whatever .during your arguing i got some good advice from ya both.Im going to ues my stockers for trail and get some 18x10x8 turf tamers on the rim ,Chapperal sells them for about120.00$i think,for race.This way i can swapem out easy.i think 18 will help with stability (1in lower)Will i need a larger front sprocket or smaller ? im thinking larger?

run the stock 15T sprocket with the 18" tires.........a smaller sprocket would be geared too low in my opinion.
