tire fitment question

[mineralgrey01gt]

Im about to order some douglas shamrock beadlocks for my 250r and right now I have some ITP baja's with 18x10x8" tires. Will those tires fit just fine on the 9x8" shamrocks?

that tire is ment for an 8in rim so it wont fit. Are you doing motocross b/c most who race moto stick with 8in rims

the douglas wheel i posted is an 8" wheel, sorry for the confusion. I do plan on mx'ng some but its how my 250r is set up now. Im just looking to get some better wheels but dont want to spend all that money on Hipers.

Yes a 18x10x8" tire is meant to work on a Douglas 9x8 wheel.

Since when did 8" tires start fitting on 9" wheels?

If mineral meant an 8x8 wheel, that's fine, but not a 9" wheel.

Ya u need an 8x8 wheel not a 9x8.
Confused the #s posting too fast.

well hold up, the first number is how big the wheel is? I thought it was how wide the wheel is. Well it doesnt look like im getting them since I really dont want to have to buy new tires. I only saw 9x8 and 10x8's

First number is the diameter of the bead, the second number is the width of the wheel.

Mineral,

I looked at douglas' website last night when I was trying to figure out your wheel combination and it showed an 8x8 douglas shamrock beadlock. Here I found it again:
