Trying to size a fender and anyone know the width of these tires inflated on a stock 16 rear wheel?

Does it get any wider? Mine is coming in at 5 " unmounted.
obviously its a 5" tire but what are the final dimensions.
thx

Ya is that inflated and mounted or just the dire how it sits off the rim?

Good question! Tire manufacturers "usually" give dimensions mounted, but they did NOT state the width of the rim, that I can see. You may have to call the tire dealer, or contact the manufacturer to find out for sure.

That looks like an awfully expensive tire, BTW! Why buy that specific type?
