If that is considered a cuss word I shudder to think what would happen if I didn't go back and edit all the other stuff out before I send replies!

Yeah, just please try to watch your language. As I've said before, I'm 12, and there are other young people on here. In general, try not to use the A, D, S, and F words.

Look kid I get you but if the word dumbassedness triggers you at 12yo, you need to stay off the internet. How about this, we delete our last few posts off of poor Jake's thread and go about our business. Deal?
Alrighty then...let the new guy end this silliness and get this thread back on track. You can in fact find those tires most anywhere Jake. Tractor Supply has them for fairly cheap actually. If I was you I would consider getting some single piece steel wheels with press fit bearings and do away with the hubs in the front and go tubeless. Go with high speed bearings and tubeless tires.
Do the same in the back. You can do something similar with your drive wheel as well. Go power sports was just having a sale on some nice steel wheels. Yours are smashed anyways, and your tires are trashed. Might as well upgraded and save some cash in the process!
If it was me I would consider buying 6 inch rims at a 5 inch width though...gives you some wiggle room for more options.
You can get some better tires, better traction, and better looks!

Thank you very much!

TXluke, I have never seen a 2 piece rim that did not bolt together in addition to the studs that hold the wheel on in my 52 years on this Earth. I admit I do not know everything apparently like you do. I was also wondering if some welds broke in the wheels. It could be very dangerous to remove those wheels with air in the tires with those wheels. Obviously you know all about everything but maybe you should try keeping your big mouth shut and learn the people on here. Sometimes the questions asked are not for the obvious reasons you assume.

I'm sorry Jake I will keep my big mouth shut Because it seems TX knows all there is to know and can answer your questions. He even knows what other people are thinking.

Well...I wasn't gonna to come out and admit this on an open forum. But my Clipper has those same rims on it. They are held together only by the lug nuts that secure the wheel assembly to the hub. I had some 5 inch tires and tubes I was installing on those 3 1/2 wide rims that were giving me a hard time so I took some really long bolts and assembled the rims off the hub and when I tried to seat the tire bead onto the rim my bolts failed and the rim halves went flying across the garage. One half hit my foot and the other hit the ceiling and landed in the back of my boat. It went right by my face. I felt the wind off of it as it went by. My safety glasses wouldn't have even slowed it down had it hit my face. Lesson learned. I stopped screwing with those rusty POS's at that point. one of the bolts broke, and one of the bolt holes broke out around a rusty spot. Now I have 4 new single piece wheels. I haven't changed them out yet but any time I mess with those wheels the first thing I do is remove the valve from the tire tubes. When I remove them from the cart the next time they will be going in the dump. Just be careful with them. The is still a chunk missing out of my ceiling.

Chunk outta your ceiling eh? Reminds me of the time Santa fell through our garage ceiling.
That was the same year my brother got a bike and I got a two person sled.
That's not uncommon to have the two rim halves held together by the hub bolts.
My front ones are the same way. Bonus points for my front ones being rusty. And even more for not holding pressure well. And YET more for being badly dryrotted. And as the cherry on top, they're the ORIGINAL wheels and tires with my frame.

BigWess That was the exact point I was going to try to make once confirmed they were two piece held together by the studs. I would hate to see anyone get hurt by those wheels because they did not take the proper precautions. Glad you did not get hurt also in your little misadventure.
Thank You,
Denny
