Would it be a good idea to go with a 9" diameter rear wheel/tire combo on a Blaster, rather than the 8" stock? I'm thinking it would help sidewall flex because of the lower profile tire. Anyone know if I will have a problem with clearance when going with a 11" width Maxxis Razor when mounted on a Douglas wheel?

No I recilenty mounted 12" wide tires on my 97 blaster and it rides ok.

I HAVE STOCK BANSHEE RIMS WHITH 20x11x9 SHREDDER
TIRES ON MY BLASTER. LESS SIDEWALL FLEX + PLENTY
CLEARANCE

that will work great u would have trouble with the 20x11x8 on stock rims but not on douglas, i would go for the 9 or 10s when i get new wheels/tires im getting 10sa

Dont want to sound like a jerk or nothing but stock banshee rims dont fit a blaster the banshee has bigger hubs

wile we are on the subject would there be any clearance problems with 22-10-8 on a blaster

nope

yes there would be clearance problems on a stock blaster with stock wheels

they will rub your metal and plastic floor board/mud protector things trust me i have stock rims and razrs and thy are 20x11x8 just think about what 22x12x8 would be like

I USE BANSHEE HUBS WITH THE STOCK BANSHEE RIMS
