Ok so I just bought a ltz 400. It has 8 inch beadlock rims on the back. The tires say 18x10x8. I ride trails a lot and need more clearance what tires would be good without having to change the rim. Looking for hole shots. Thanks!

If you get 20x11x8 hole shots you'll gain 1" of ground clearance and they're 1" wider too.

Will that make much of a difference at all?

Most of the time it wouldn't matter on my quad, but it may make more of a difference on yours since it doesn't have as much clearance. There were a couple of times I high centered where another inch would have made a difference.

The 20-11's are a good all around size for a 400. You still need a good swingarm skid plate. The 22-11's will give you the best ground clearance. But you still need a skid plate and 22's will take away a lot of your low end power thus requiring to change the sprockets.
