> Further comments to consider. 185 section width by itself does not provide
all the dimensions affecting the decision. Aspect ratio will determine the wall
height of the tyre. This then affects how the tire fills the wheel opening and
the rolling rarius/circumference. That is 185 x 70 the height is 705 of 185 mm
of width. 185 x 45 is 45% of the 185mm of width. This would give a much greater
clearence to the wheel opening. Also a nominal wheel width can be laced with
spokes to change the offset of the wheel rim. In Australia owners order from
the Dayton agent four 6inch or 5inch wheels ( your choice ) but with a further
inset rim for the front and further out set wheel rim for the rear. This is to
manage the different clearence requirements of front to back.
