I'll look in to it but I don't think any of our pulls have that rule.

I use 15 inch wide rims with a Firestone 151 14.9 x 38's. I wouldn't be afraid to use a 16 inch rim.

Good. Thanks, Firestone 151's are what I have so I'll get started.

I have a set of 16.9/38's Firestone 151's off those 16" inch rims with some weather cracks and a local guy wants to buy them for his John Deere. He is a friend but I don't want to give them away either cause they are still good tires. About what do u guys think I should ask for them. Thanks, Zeb.

If I had 15.5s i think 16 inch rims would be what id want to put them on.
