Hello all.
So I found an Ariens zoom 1634 with the Kohler motor with about 160 hrs on it on c/l for 500 bucks. Seems to run great but needs new rear tires. The tires on it are 18x6.50-8 and I would like to go to the wider 18x8.50-8. I saw on the ariens site that it was available with the 8.50" wide tires so I know it will accommodate them. I have looked and looked and not found my answers.
1. What are the chances that I could fit the wider tires on the rims that I have? I have not taken the tires off to measure the rims so I'm not sure the width of them.
2. If I go ahead and get the 8x7 rims to go with the new tires should they be offset? Centered?
Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
