Will a 17" rim be suitable for a 16.9" tire? I want to do this so i can switch 18.4's on if i want. Think it will be ok??

Angus, a 17" wheel will work very well with a 16.9 tire. They will work ok with an 18.4 although an 18" would be slightly preferable. I cut many 18.4's on 16" rims and they will work ok but most are on 18's. Best results are found with the rim and the section size of the tire being very close. This makes a straight sidewall which will support the tire and tread better and doesn't add unnecessary weight like a super wide rim does. Mike

What about a 14 inch rim for 13.6 tires? I thought it would work perfect, but my local tire store says that's to wide for that tire.

MAD DUC, I would think that rim would work. The factory recommended rim for a 13.6 tire is 12" wide. But it should work ok. Mike
