The rims are the same width. Just wondering if this was experienced by anybody else on their tires (any brand). Waiting to hear back from Coker.
I just had tires mounted on '35 ford wire wheels. They are Excelsior 5.50 x 16 bias tires from Coker. Same PSI in both tires, but one tire is 1/2"...

I went to Pete and Jakes website. They do have 11/16" bushings for shackles. That makes it a whole lot easier! Thanks for the info.
