Hey guy's I am planning to make a barstool as you all heard and for tires I am thinking of getting about 8 inches in back in 6 inches in front so should I go with 8 inch rims in back and 6 inch rims in front or what?

Hiya Sam,
as a general rule you buy "wheels" a half to one inch bigger than the tire you plan on using. If your going with 4.5" tires you buy a 5 inch rim. an 8 inch tire you would buy an 8.5" wheel etc etc etc. You might reconfigure your tire size and 6" wide tires is going to be a handfull. Thats a lot of rubber in front to be rolling and turning. Good luck and I hope this helps you
