Good day Bolters, picked up the coker classic 650R16 to try to match the front tires on 1953 3100 1/2 ton, now trying to match back tires,6.5x 16 with STA Traxion 6.5x16- hauled a lot of wood out of the timber and sold to bait shops for our allowance in the 70's. tire guy said the rim measured 3 1/2 ", i thought they would be 4. so if i went with anything more than the 6.50x16, he said they would wear and bulge in center. The old tires on front and back were 7+" wide. Traxion spec states rim width of 4.5-5.0- is the rim on the back wider? everything is stock on truck.

thanks,

lynn
