16" rims
« on: November 25, 2010, 05:28:06 am »
Can I put a 140/90/16 on a 16x3 rim? How about a 150?
What am I doing and why am I doing it? Those are excellent questions.

That 140 should be OK. FJ1200, Ninja 1000's used a 3.5 for a 150.

Thanks. All the charts and graphs tell me the same, but I have learned (the hard way) to check the info and then get the straight dope from an experienced source (from either an expert or what I call a Bumpy Roads Scholar).
What am I doing and why am I doing it? Those are excellent questions.
