Wide tire optical illusion

Recommended Posts

Sparky

  Have had these tires on rims in my shed for years, just dragged em out, power washed them and got em installed. All these years I had thought they were 23/10.5’s on the wide rims cause they are so wide looking. I never looked at the size on the side. To my surprise they are only 9.5 wide :eusa-think:. They sure look wide!

Will you be putting chains on them? Is there enough clearance for them?

  There is enough clearance for chains. Doubt I’ll install chains, it’s just a tractor I’m building cause I’m bored :lol: ! 
 Have no need for it, just like having a project to tinker on.

Mike,  is the back spacing the same on both sets of rims?   I bought some used tires that were mounted on some other brand rims and they were very close to the gas tank too.

Identical rim and tires. They aren’t as close to the tank as the pic makes it seem.

I'll get there eventually.

Worked on the Charger a bit today.

I could use a hand if you are bored.   :greetings-wavingyellow:  I just need someone to drink beer with, while I charge batteries and ride horses around the block.  :occasion-xmas:
