Fleetline 10-22-2012 19:04:03 12.189.32.54 Report to Moderator	What are your thoughts about a Firestone F151 16.9x38 on an 18" wide rim and would anybody happen to have a rough measurement as to the height of a F151 16.9x38 full cut on a 18" wide rim? Also if anybody has some pictures that would be good to. [Reply]   [No Email]

I have full cut 16.9-38 BFG's on a super 77. I started out with 18 inch rims now im down to 14 inch rims and thats where they work the best here in Iowa soil. In diffrent soil conditions mabie wide rims work but not here. [Reply]  [No Email]
