cschannuth 3,795 #1 Posted September 12, 2016 I wanted some bigger rubber on the back of my 161 and came across some rough, cheap 520 wheels that I reworked. I put some 10.5" wide Carlyles on them. For weight my tire guy added non-corrosive fluid to add about 50lbs to each side. Before it was light in the rear pushing that twin around. Now it's planted. I still have the original Carlyles if I ever want to put them back on. Here are some before, during and after pics. 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
