Was rolling this around in my head so I figured I'd put it on here and get some opinions. I have access to tons of good mud tires in 16" and 16.5, and have stacks of 8 lug wheels laying around. I've checked out adapters and $300 bucks is not gonna happen. I'm thinking about plating in the centers on a set of old steelies and drilling them to tit my ranger. For off road, in the mud use only. It's questionable that they would ever exceed 15-20 mph. Balance wouldn't be an issue, and they would never see pavement. I'm cheep, not stupid. Half the tires I have would be questionable for highway use due to age, sidewall cuts and so on. But all would be fine for playing in the mud pit at my buddy's house. Any input or personal experience? Horror stories?
