Hello all,

Im planning on purchasing 2 rear Douglas Wheels for a wagon I want to build, I already purchased the front wheels from ebay which are both Douglas Wheels size 6x6 wrapped with Dunlop Slick tires. My question is: I want to buy the widest rim size Douglas makes which is 6x10 and keeping the same tire brand Dunlop, I'm not sure what size will fit that rim size from Dunlop or how can I match the rim size with the tire size? Any help and advise will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
T58ROCK

Good luck mounting them I wouldnt get a rim over 8.5" They are a bitch to seat ! I use a tire band and it takes alot of air pressure to pop the bead

Hello, I use douglas 6 X 10 rims and use firestone or Dunlop 11.5 X 8.00 X 6 tires that work best on those size douglas rims! They are a little hard to get seated but not to bad! I use WD-40 to mount them and works pretty good! I use a home made band made out of a 5 gallon grease can and a ratchet tie down strap! about 60lbs pops them out! STAND CLEAR!! LOL Hope that helps!:thumb:
