Benefits/differences bet. 9x8 v. 9x9
I’m looking at getting some rear beadlocks for next year’s XC season. I was just curious what the difference bet. 9x8 rims and 9x9 rims is. I’ve ridden polaris up till now and have tolerated the 10” rims. So the 9’s are a whole new world. Which rim width would be ideal for XC? I assume 9x8 would have more sidewall flex, but 9x9 would have more sidewall strength and rigidity. What are the differences in ride and handling characteristics if I slap a 20x11x9 tire on one of these rims??
