Tubes for 1600R20 tires?

[Hammer]

Called the local tire shops, and the cost for tubes is crazy!
That, and they have a hard time finding a tube bigger then the 14r20. They have plenty bigger, but they are for bigger rims.

I just made some wider rims, and I need to get some tubes, and flaps, to get the tires properly mounted.

Btw, how wide are the stock flaps for the 16R20 tires anyways?

Any pics of your rims? I plan on building my own also.Thanks.

 

[Hammer]

Not yet, should be taking some pictures today.

I have seen it done two ways and I dont know wich way I will do mine till I check out what I have for rims.

 

[Hammer]

I made mine like Sermis did his. But I made mine wider.

ill have stock tubes and flaps avail soon. Let me know if interested.

 

[nk14zp]

Did you flip the centers?

 

[Hammer]

PM sent on the stock tubes.

I didn't flip the centers. But the rims are about 12.5" wide. I wanted a very WIDE stance to the rim and tire rather then a bit too narrow. And this 'should' help keep them fairly lined up without having different rims for the front.

I just checked Michelin's catalog and here is what they say. 16R20 takes a Tube Code 20V and the tube catalog # is 32961. The flap is a 20X10.00. FYI a 14R20 takes a 20S, # 32420 tube. The flap for this tire is still 20X10.00. International Tire and Tube has them listed for $52.49 each for the tube. They also sell flaps. Internation Tire and Tube Company - Inner Tubes

You shoud check out the way I made my rims before you do yours. You might find it easier. I also used dayton wheels. It's near the bottom of the page.

Yea I will use dayton rims also.For the cut part.

The first rim is for testing purposes.
I want to find out how wide I really want the rim before I build the rest.
Joe, I have read that thread many times in the past, and recently! Good info in there.

FYI, I can get the tubes new at the local Les Schwab for $60 each.
And the link mentioned already has them new for $52.49 each.
Still means close to $300 for tubes and flaps though!

THIS IS A TEST RIM!!!

The wide rim looks GREAT!
