IMO...not if you are looking for additional ground clearance...but they may effect your bottom end a weeeee bit

Thanks, and yes what I am looking for is additional ground clearance. I have 18x9.5x8's on the rear now, and I went riding the other night. I kept bottoming out and getting stuck, it was really annoying. I didn't think the 22x11x8's would be to much (if any) taller than the stock rear tires, but I didn't know if they would hurt my Blaster's engine turning a 22 inch tire. Thanks for the reply!!!

Stock is 21-10-8.
You won't have any problems using that big of tires, however I don't really think you need to go that big. Most people only use 18''s for MX, no wonder you are botteming out all the time. I think if you go up to 20'' or even back to stock you'll have more then enough ground clearence.

Yeah I wish I knew that about the 18's before I bought them though.(LOL)!
I have the stock ones back on it now. The 18's took away all of my top speed. As for ground clearance. I think I would be happy with the 22's. If I'm wrong I guess I will buy the 20's. Then I would have 3 different sizes to choose from, but then I would need 1 more set of rims..LOL
Take care!!!

the smaller tires help your acceleration and the bigger one's help your top speed.i got some 18's for flat tracking and some 22's for the sand.
