18" tires are perfectly acceptable and are the most used MX tire on any machine. I think the 18s would be great because they would lower the effective gear ratio of the Raptor which is sometimes needed for MX. I would not use them for anything else because of the ground clearance problems though. 20s would be what I would stick with for anything other than MX.
