is it even possible? haha, what kind of arch work would this require do you think guys?
does anyone even know of a tyre that comes in 13" and would fit on a 10" rim without a ridiculous stretch? (some stretch obs required :lol: )
cheers for your thoughts and opinions guys.

TBH i think 10" is a little too wide. 9"s are a headache, and you just can't get a decent stance without horrendous amounts of scrubbing or fabricating wider arches.

9" has been done, but it just doesn't look right. I think 10" would be a really bad idea.

No I'd say a removal of current arches and a custom fabrication of wider ones job.

Yeah you would definately need extended arches to fit them, well wide 8)
