No one can help me with this!!! I just want to know if I should just stay with the stock sizing, go with an off set, or larger paddles/rims.

Sand stars are nice. With your setup you could run 22's no problem. I run Skat Trak edges, and I like them.

22's will hook up and float better, but 20's will handle better-as far as being shorter and typically less sidewall. I would go with the offset to make it wider. If you do a lot of dragging/hillclimbing go with haulers or another straight paddle, but you can't turn worth a crap. Sand Stars, sand skate 2, and skat trac edges are all very good all around tires. The skat tracks are probly the lightest, but the least durable. Personally, I like the traction and light weight of haulers. I have 20x10x10 with 8 paddles. If I did it all over again I would have gone with maybe 21" extremes. I think you are right on with the 12 tooth sprocket, about right for mine with just the pipe and k&n. I'm going back to stock gearing with my new piston/cam/porting. Just my $.02
