Hello everybody

I am currently working in a project of making a fuel efficient car , i will use a Michellen tyre with dimension of 45/75 R 16. i couldn't find any appropriate wheel for this tyre. i got a tip that i might find a suitable dirt bike wheel for this tyre. Is there any dirt bike wheel that can fit my tyre?

Tire specification can be viewed here : http://www.semasiaeshop.com/download/mi ... _75R16.pdf

i hope you will be able to help me


Many thanks

If I did that right it is about an inch and three quarters wide. the only motorcycles that have them are pretty narrow or pretty wide. do you have a hub picked out yet? FYI I would look at the two stroke such as the bigwheel YZ 85 and the rear of it to start with, or go to the DID rim website and look what they offer. Talon is another source, as they make complete spoked wheel setups. What are you planning to use your car for?

Hello ossagp

The problem is i don't know a lot when dealing with wheels.
My car is going to participate in a eco marathon, so i need the wheel to be as light as possible

Thanks
