Did you look around at RMATV??

I know you said 8" rims, but you may be able to find a set of used 250ES rim/tires that were 25" 's tall stock, I think they were 9" rims though.....

You must be looking for lots of ground clearance. But I'm not sure how well a 185cc motor can spin such a big tire in deep snow.

Just something to think about.

That gearing gives it more top speed but even harder to spin large tires in lower gears. If you have an engine that spins them, then great. But just make sure you can or you'll be beating thew snot out of that motor to fling mud off.....

Do you find that 1st and 2nd are winding out too fast with the 22's you have now??

Mud bogs my 250CC SX down big time with 22's, without a manual clutch they are too much tire sometimes aside from super low 1st gear.......
