landsurveyor 2 #1 Posted December 14, 2009 Will these fit my charger 12? http://www.allterraintyres.co.uk/index.php...roducts_id=5034 Its really really difficult to find tri ribs in the UK! Will these fit my 1968 charger, which has 5.5 tyres on it at the moment? I know it will be a stretch but will they look any good? Has anyone tried it? Opinions welcomed........!

The_Tyke 0 #2 Posted December 14, 2009 I'll watch this with interest as I was wondering about those for my Raider14 :notworthy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwgdog66 23 #3 Posted December 14, 2009 Simon, your charger should have 16X6.50-8 tires on the front. The only place I know that carries a tri rib in that size is here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Two-16x6-50-8-Fireston...=item518d6e9ed1 They do work very well in loose soil. Here is what they look like mounted up on the factory rim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
landsurveyor 2 #4 Posted December 14, 2009 Thanks for your input gwgdog66, the trouble is, the time I ship them to the UK, they get really expensive. I was looking for a cheaper solution to the problem. At this rate I may start importing them to the UK!!? Simon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,029 #6 Posted December 15, 2009 the old chargers had the narrow tires, on narrow rims, yes those will fit just fine. I'll post a picture of my tractor with a set on it on rims like yours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #7 Posted December 15, 2009 these are mounted on rims the same size as yours, the tires are 4.00x8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,029 #10 Posted December 15, 2009 gwgdog66 are those your tires you posted pic's of??? those look like the narrow rims, those tires would fit better on the 6" wide rim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
landsurveyor 2 #11 Posted December 15, 2009 Thanks for your comments. Thanks Kelly for the pic, thats a fine looking beast you have there, the tyres look just right. Ordering a set for mine now............ Simon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwgdog66 23 #12 Posted December 16, 2009 gwgdog66 are those your tires you posted pic's of??? those look like the narrow rims, those tires would fit better on the 6" wide rim. Yes Kelly, they are. These are NOS Factory Front rims PN 9652 for a 1975 C-160. I lucked out and matched up the paint to that color on the rear rims. The manual called for 16X6.50x8's. That is the same size I went back with. Had I known a different size tire would have worked I'd probably went that route, but I'm happy with how the perform :notworthy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
