Wheel Downgrade

[rpolanco]

So I recently picked up a Yerf Dog 3203 and I want to make it fun. It currently has 8" live axle wheels on 20x10.00-8 tires but I was wondering if I can just slap on some 6" live axle wheels with the same 1in axle hole to make it easier to find slicks. Everywhere I've been has slick tires for a 6in rim but not 8in

I don’t see why not, as long as the sprocket isn’t bigger than the wheel, if your going to put on smaller wheels you might be able to gear up.

I like the idea, it would probably be really fun having a yerf low to the ground!! Let’s see some pictures when you complete!

What he said. Sprockets have to have some clearance.

18x9.50-8 Carlisle Slick Smooth Tires 4ply

can be found rather easily...
so in case you'd rather stick with 8" rims... there you go

(it's still smaller than your current 20" wheel)
