Title: Re: car wheel hub Post by: Olds on January 19, 2013, 10:18:20 PM Did for me. Never really thought about fitting a car tyre to a bike rim before but it makes sense when you think about it. Probably not agood idea on a raked out front though as you'd end up cornering on the sidewalls. I take it thats for the V8.
