Default 18 inch rear 21 inch front on zilla???

My quadzilla needs new tires. I wanted to go fast trekkers on the rear they only have them for my size rims 11-10, in 18x11-10 and 22x11-10. most of the tires for my front rims are 21x7.00-10. how ill this work, right now I have used up brigestone 20x11-10 tires. I dont really want to go bigger because I really dont need any more top speed but will it be aquard with them that different in size?

well, you'll lose a little ground clearance and lose a little top end speed but it'll accelerate a little quicker too.
i love my fasttrekkers. they hook up great! of course, i'm not throwing 50+ h.p. at them either!

18" tires on a 'Zilla might be too small...it's really going to lower your gearing, ALOT. On a Motorcross track, they would help your acceleration, and cornering. If your not motorcross racing, I really think a 20" tire is the smallest I'd go. I had 20" Holeshots on my 'Zilla, and loved them. Like what was previously mentioned, you will also lose some ground clearance. Depending on the terrain you ride in this might not be a serious issue...out here in the desert, we need all we can get... I run 22" Holeshots on my DS.
