    Default Tire question

    I have 6 inch rims and 8.00-6 Turfglide tires at the moment.

    I’d like to put 8.50-6 Dessers (smooth) on instead. Will I need to add spacers to my split rims to allow for the extra half inch width? Or will they be ok without?

    i will be using tubes.

    Many thanks.

    They should work fine, with no shims required. My experience is on my 6" Cleveland wheels, and the Desser 8.50x6 smooth tundras.

    Thanks Kevin. That’s what I hoped someone would say.
