Wheel and tire size question

[LoKi]

I found a set of Douglas red label 10x8 rear wheels for $35. My question is will a 20x11x9 tire fit on those? They should work won't they? :

I've been looking at tires and wheels so much my brain is fried.

[LoKi]

Or would I need a 20x11x10?

[4strkepwr660R]

No.....An 11x9 tire wil not fit on a 10x8 rear wheel

[LoKi]

So it's a 8" wheel, and not a 10"?

[Mr.Boof]

no its a 10x8 and u have a 11x9 stock rim

[LoKi]

No my stock rears are 9x8 with a 20x10x9 tire

[4strkepwr660R]

this is so confusing

[LoKi]

The wheels I'm looking at are 10" in diameter and 8" wide. Therefore 10x8. So, a 20x11x10 would fit. Anyone know? I suck at this.

[4strkepwr660R]

OK Im pretty sure the wheel and tire have to have the same width

[LoKi]

No you want them at least 3" bigger so the bead holds well, and no more than 6". The stock I have now are 2" bigger.

This works. The way you listed it before you were trying to put a 9" tire on a 10" wheel, won't work.

Ok, that's what I thought. Wasn't sure. After staring at my computer screen at number for 3 hours they all look the same.

Not a bad deal either on the Douglas red label .190 Aluminum. If I could get something to work with them on my quad.

And thats $35 for the set brand new. :

Generally the following applies:

Wheels = Diameter X Width

Tires = Height X Width X Diameter

[LoKi]

Got it thanks.

Any quad riders out there think that I should keep 9" on the rear instead of 10". What are the pros and cons?

Also most of my riding is done in the trails.

[2fun]

All of my riding is done at the dunes, so I cannot comment on dirt riding, however, I THINK that the smaller the wheel, the more sidewall flex if not changing the tire height??

I run 20X10X10s on my ATV's for the sand anyway.

[4strkepwr660R]

Is the ten unches referring to height or width?

[LoKi]

I've been thinking about going with a 23" in front and a 22" in the rear. I want the good clearance for the trails and woods, but I don't want to have to deal with sidewall blowouts like I just did.

[4strkepwr660R]

My advice is to stick with 20s and get a tries with nasty treads, like the Razr 2

[LoKi]

Razr2's won't fit on the 10x8 wheels. I'm leaning more towards the new ITP Holeshot HD's. These will fit, and have monster tread and 6ply.
