I am looking to put the skinniest tires I can find on a trailer for my quad that I am making. It only has to hold 300 pounds, for my mother-in-law, a gas can and 5 gallons of round-up. (That's a joke). Also, the trailer frame is a modified Yamaha Blaster, so I am stuck with 4x156mm wheel holes, with studs no less, and the spindle is tapered so it takes different size inner and outer bearings, meaning that I have to stick to Yamaha or Polaris rims or get a cross-over made.
I have not seen any ATV rims less than 5 inches. I was thinking of donut tires from a Miata or something similar (115 mm width), but the bolt pattern cross-overs are getting expensive ($150), and part of the point of making a trailer is to keep the costs down and get the design right.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get a skinny tire on a skinny ATV rim? Anyone know of rims less than 5"? Or any other way to do this that I might be missing? I am not opposed to buying cross-overs, I just want to be sure I make the right choice so I don't have to try several designs. Plus I just don't want to because I am a cheap-skate.
Thanks,
