Well....anything is possible if you want to spend the time & money.
But my question is Why?
It would totally defeat the intended purpose of the machine, IMO.

I doubt it. Would theyr be enough clearance? Besides it would be so gay anyway. :rolleyes:

I guess you could get some awsome 20' on there and it would look sweet but it wouldn't be very good for the 'all terrain' part in ATC. If you do it make sure you post pics.

As was stated before anything is possible, I have seen quads with 40" mud tires all around. But the biggest rim I know od is a 14x14 for a MudZilla tire

Those custom aluminum rim cutters on american choppers could make them. Definetly for a show trike!

Those would be super low pro tires, one inch bigger than the rim all the way around. Do they even make those?

I'm sure you could fab something up if you wanted to mount some bigger shoes on your trike. Just need to work on a new hub for the bigger autmotive bolt pattern, and yes they probably would fit, roomwise, depending on what kind of trike you are using. I know my yamahaulers for example take a 25 inch tire and there is still an inch or inch and a half between the top of the tire and the fender

Yea, you could use the 20's with 25 inch tire, thats 2.5 inches of tread all the way around the rim.
I think it would look stupid, but do what you want!

well i meen like make a cadillac of all trikes. It doesnt have to be a 20 ...even a 16 with 22's on it. Yes i know its not an ATC then but still for a show trike i think it would look pretty cool

I have never understood the facination with that whole idea. I guess I am too utilitarian. More money than sense, if you ask me. Please post pics if you do that on your trike. I need a new background for my dartboard. :lol: :lol:

you can also try contacting billet rim companys like B.Coddington they will custom drill there rims to order. So you could pay the money to have a 4/110 or whatever bolt pattern drilled out.

function over style, its kinda pointless, , not to mention the trike woudl have to be able to turn the tires and rims, i have put small car tires on the front of my 450r rims and trailer tires ont he back for runnign around the paved roads upstate pa but thats anotyher story.

Yeah, the Cannondale. What a waste of a 10K quad. If I ever do that to mine then someone please shoot me.

You COULD do that to a trike, but you would have to figure out the front rim. Because the design on the rim is only on one side. You would have to get a double sided rim that matchs the back rims.

hey i put 17in rims with 225 45 hr17 tires off my cougar on my 250sx. just to see if it would work. it worked for the rear but it looked stupid as crap plus the ride around the driveway was horrible and the tire rubbed the muffler.
