    Hell.they have been mounted on 4" wheels with no real issue,think 35-48 wheels.

    I know what they look like on 4 in and 4.5 in ...was wondering about 6 in ?
     
  5. Then you should know the answer.if you seen them on skinnier, then 6's will be about the same.a tad less budge

    Thats OK,and thank you
    I had 700x16 stones with 4" wheels and the tires wore in the center & not on the sides,and I only ran 20 psi in them,I thought maybe it was because if the narror rim,thats why I went with 6" ones & think they look like they belong on a 6"
    BTW--believe it or not but a Firestone 700x16 is a wider tire than a 750x16 Firestone???

  13. 7.50 tire is 7.5" cross section, 6" wheel is 1.5" less that 7.5" or 3/4" inch on either side of the whel, It is not likely it is going to bulge much. Think of a '50s car with a 7.5 on a 5-6" wheel and you will have some idea.

    Coker recommends a 5" or 6" rim for 750x16

    Sorry, My bad. they are 7.75 15 Firestones on a 15 x 6 wheel. Not the 7.50 the OP was asking about. Another pic . They are a little taller and wider than the ones asked about. Looked at a LOT of tires lately...
