Depends on the season
Cant decide...

between 19's or 20's, but leaning more towards the 20's. Those of you who have 20's on, how do they ride and what sidewall are you running? Also, whats the widest tire you can get on a 10" rear? Thanks for the input. pics would help of course if you have any.

10" rear.... I'm not sure if that would fit without adjustments.

Most owners with 20's run 285x25x20 in the back. 10 inch wheel is fine pending the offset.

offset I believe should be 35 in the rear but let someone else confirm or deny that.
