as long as they are 8" ... they should work.
even CSA_D (sean) managed to mount this HUGE Wheels on a STD Plastic Rim. also Beach Racers (21/12-8) fit on a STD Rim too.

I run those, very good tire and it will probably give it a more rounded surface on the 4” rims.

Good for the rear on the XR+ 16x6.5-8 for the front unless you get a BF front end...

I have those on 8" rims on the back of my XR+. definitely won't fit the front. I'd really like to see how they fit on a standard rim...

Bro, you will be riding BF this summer ... i have spare BF Fork for you now.
if weather holds ill bring it out with me.
PS. if youre riding a XR anything, you need all the weight you can add. so having 10lbs in a triangle will keep your buggy somewhat from drifting.
