ive been looking thru my denniskick catologe and more or less trying to see whats all out there for the 200X yet, still trying to decide what year i want. anyway what struck me odd is tire width vs rim width.
now i am not the sharpest cryan in the box but ill be damned i know the US mesuarement system and know how to add also.
example, 83-85 ATC200X rear rims are 8" x 8" 1st off they say they are 3in and 5.5 out....um that = 8.5" (i think denniskick messed up, not the 1st time) 2nd the tires are 22" tall x11" wide x8" rim.
can anyone explain what the deal is how a 11in wide tire fits on a 8in wide rim? i took notice even the 4wheelers do this, tire width vrs rim with just does not add up.
86-87 ATC200X has 9" x 9" rear rims and using 22" x 10" x 9" tires....by now i am totaly lost since one trike using wider tires on not as wide rims and one uses a wider rim and not so wide tire. so can you mix match dif tire widths?
somone please mark me ATV/ATV wheel/trie smart. i just dont understand a 3" difference and not sure if its 1.5" per side the tire stick out over the rim or not. anyway just asking, i prob sound like a huge dumbA$$but just trying to learn info about somthing i want to buy one day 200X i hope!
