i was just wondering if any one has mounted a 18.4-38 radial on a 22 in aluminum rim. if so what did you have to do to get it mounted. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance |

I wouldn't put them on 22" rims but if you do tubes will make it easier.If weight is an issue you better have a big blow tank and hope the silcone stays where it should. |

should i get a 18.4 tube or should i get a 20.8 tube. im just not sure if a 18-4 tube will push them out far enough or if i go with a wider tube will it push it out easier. thanks |

get the tube for your size tire. tubes are made to strech. |

Hook air hose to stim, blow fresh air in tire, spray either in tire, throw match in tire and stand back.

And since this is and aluminum rim he is working with ................... you might just find out what scrap aluminum is worth. Good luck with that ether deal hahahahahahahahah Fact is you can bend steel rims that way . Oh and if you do this someone needs to video tape it for youtube!!!
Just saying ............. BAD IDEA |

Depending on what brand of aluminum rim you have, be careful as to not use too much air pressure to seat the bead also....if it is a one-piece style rim, dont go over 25 psi, or you will fold the rim over.....trust me, i've had it happen.....definetely do NOT use ether on a aluminum rim, you will be buying new rims.....once you get out of the hospital, that is......If you can by with the extra weight, use tubes....... |

thank you all for your input. i figured that the either idea wasnt a very good one and i didnt spend all that money to turn them into a science project gone bad. we can afford the extra weight. i just was told that it is next to impossible to get them to seat up without a tube. i just wanted to make sure i am doing the right thing. thank you again for your responses |
