Searcher60 208 #1 Posted February 18, 2021 Hello everybody. Anybody know what the width overall of a front wheel should be using a 6.50 width tire? It looks like the 69’ Electro wheels are 4 1/2”. I picked up two wheels that supposedly came of a 1972 Charger and they measure 4 1/2” also. So I am lost. When Wheel horse started using 16 x 6:50 x 8 front tires, didn’t they increase the width of the wheel versus the wheel they used for the earlier 5.50 width tires, which are NLA? Thanks!

JohnD 145 #2 Posted February 18, 2021 I did a crude measurement recently and my front rims are 6" wide for my 16x6.5x8 tires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,556 #3 Posted February 18, 2021 I have only seen the 16 x 6.50 x 8's on the C series and newer tractors. These tractors had wider rims. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,046 #4 Posted February 18, 2021 My 1974 C 120 has a narrow rim on the front not sure of the width and I think the 1974 Commando 800 has the narrow also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It may measure 6" to the out side of the flanges the wheel width on those wheels is around 5" measured inside the flanges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
