| I know this probably sounds simple and dumb but how should I measure the size of my rims so i get the right tire size. Are back rims just generic? Thanks | |

you can measure them if you want. Usually they are 8" tall and 8" wide or 8" tall and 10" wide. You could go by tire size too just doesn't acuity measure the rim width itself. | |

| It says its a 18x8.5-9 So does this mean I could get any tire as long as it was a 9 for the width of the rim? | |

So does this mean I could get any tire as long as it was a 9 for the width of the rim? the last number is the bead size (rim size) so you need to stay at that measurement. the first is the overall diameter of the tire, the 2nd is the width, and the 3rd is the rim size. on my tractor, stock tire is 23x8x12, and i just replaced them with 25x8x12 Kenda Executioners with no problems. so, you can go taller and wider, as long as you maintain the 9 inch bead. hope that helps | |

| So I'm liking the 22x11-9 Carlisle Srykers on Amazon. They are like the Duro mud and sand but they will fit my rim. What do you think? | |

| Well after the starter gear being toast I decided to start making a rough design of a skid plate out of some leftover light sheet metal. What do you guys think?  | |

| Good start but you should make it go the full length of the frame so it dont just scoop up mud and water and get all in the belts. | |
