Hi guys, bought a set of 20x11-10 paddles. Had cheap douglas wheels and one busted on me. I wanna get new wheels just not sure what width to go with. 8 or 9 wide? I don't want it popping off the bead. the tire empty measures 9 wide bead to bead. What you suggest.
Thanks

I would say 9" wide would be fine with the 10" dia. Steve

Isn't the stock rim 9x9? I can't remember now off hand. Steve

He is talking about the backs since it is a 20x11x10 it is 11 inches wide in a paddle. I would assume he is talking about a rear wheel but I guess I could be wrong. I know the fronts are 10" dia and 5" wide. Steve

Yes I ment rears, sorry. Thanks for the help but came to decide on 10x8 rims. the narrower rim should allow the paddle tire to grow a bit more= more mph up top and it might keep the bead sealed better.

Thanks
