Tires, Rims, and Wheels

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Can some help fill this spreadsheet out. What I need to know is if you had 22 x 9.00 - 12 tires and you bought some used rims and tires mounted that were 23 x 10.50 - 12 what should the rim width be for both?

Same question for the fronts what would the rim width be for 16 x 6.50 - 8 be and the width for the 15 x 6.00 - 6

Is my chart correct. I have all the wheels and cant measure the rims inside bead to bead without removing the tires.

 

  Stock Tires on my 1989 312-8    
         
  Size Make Rim Width Condition
Front 15 x 6.00 - 6   3.25 Used
Rear 22 x 9.00 - 12   7 Used
         
  New Tires       
         
  Size Make Rim Width Condition
Front 16 x 6.50 - 8 Vredestein V61 5.375 New
Rear 23 x 10.50 - 12   8.5 Used

i dont know the front rim widths, but you have the correct rear rim width (measured inside lip to inside lip).

Older horses used 16 5.50 8  those rims were 3.75"  If you had asked this last week I had several wheels apart for painting. 

 

I would guess the 16 6.50 8 would be about an inch wider. 

 

Since none of the tires you mentioned interchange in rims what difference does it make?  Don't forget you will have to change the front spindle when you go to 8's on the front.
