Default how big a slick...

can I put on the old 10 hole rims? I measured them and they are 8 and a 1/4 wide, so does that mean I can only go 8 inches wide? Or can I put something a bit bigger?

Thanks

You can run a 275 or a 26x10 on it. I have. The tires will balloon a lil, buy it can be done.

They are. He probably measured from end to end and not where the bead rests
