New 1" wider, welded in rims: offset?

[Johnr]

New rims (8"); 1 inch wider than original (7") for 9 5/9x24 tire;
1. Split offset difference, front & back?
2. Will old tires 9.5/9x24 fit new rims?
3. Will RC (rolling circumference) change enough to effect 4 wheel drive?

Some place like MillerTire should have charts...
not all brands of tires have the same dimensions...

as for RC, that you'll have to measure at same air pressure.
if it's <2% you should be fine.

Ag tires?

It's going to be a stretch.

RC won't get hurt too bad!

 

[Johnr]

Yes, ag tires. Vendor should rectify. I did ask for verification that my tires would fit...

Wolfman, could you elaborate on "going to be a stretch"? I'm confused about my new 8x24 rims and highly value your opinion. Assumed ideal width would be 9-9.5" for 9.5/9x24 4 ply ag tires
