Had you said 8n or NAA it would have been easy.. TSC and many dealers sell a 16" implement rim that bolt right up and accepts a 6.xx16 tire. You can join the list of people looking for 16" rims for those wide 9n/2n front hubs. Every now and then you here a rumor or story about someone who has found a set on ebay, etc. Many people change to 8n front spindles and hubs for this reason.. or try to find a car rim and or car hubs that they can swap over.. I think the going deal is that some model of a mercury from the mid to late 30's hubs will swap over.. letting you then use those associated rims. I think I would opt to cut the center out of my 19" rims and weld them into a readily availably 16" rim or rim blank, rather than modifying my otherwise good condition oem front hubs.. ( unless your hubs are on the way out anyway.. then you could solve two problems at once and swap..??) If you do find a source for 16" rims that fit the wide 9n/2n hub.. let us know.. Good luck Soundguy
