Default what rear wheel with 23" up front
I might jump to a 23" up front, If I do what rear wheel are you guys running? I want to keep my rear stock wheel I'm thinking I can just powder coat it black because I want to run a all black front wheel before I do all that I want to see what you guys are running..And that means I will be selling my Mammoth spokes...

I don't believe you need to go up to a 18" in rear but you might have to research that a bit more.

18" rear. I don't think you have to go up to an 18 either but it fills up the fender nicely.
