CRCermak 0 #1 Posted October 19, 2015 I mounted my new rear 23 x 10.5 x 12 Carlisle Tru Power tires to my SK 486. The tires are too close to the gas tank frame and I had to move out the wheel / hub past the axle a bit not being flush. Is this ok ? Or is there a different hub I can buy that allows tire to have more clearance between the gas tank. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 39,042 #2 Posted October 19, 2015 Ford wheel spacer. found at most Auto part stores. I recommend using longer 7/16" fine bolts and 7/16" car lug nuts to hold them on though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shallowwatersailor 3,213 #3 Posted October 19, 2015 Ideally find hub centric wheel spacers. The hub centric spacer has a ridge that matches the wheel's hub hole taking some of the load off the bolts and bolt holes of the wheel. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRCermak 0 #4 Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks for the help on suggestions. On the "Hub centric wheel spacers" what thickness ? 1 inch. ? What place is best to get these. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shallowwatersailor 3,213 #5 Posted October 20, 2015 One inch might be enough. It depends on how much room you need. How much did you have to move the hub? Allow enough room for chains but don't go wider than necessary.They can be found online or the popular auction site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CRCermak 0 #6 Posted October 21, 2015 Thanks. Seems like the 1 inch should work as right now I have the hub out past axle a bit around a little under 1/4 inch so tire does not hit gas tank frame. Tire is still close to frame. About 1/4 inch clearance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
