Anyone here fitted the 'retro' Firestone (or copies) to their bike? If so , can you tell me what size youve used for an 18" rear rim, & 18" front(yes, you read it right, 18" rear rim up front, laced to an XS1 drum) ? Thanks

Search for "Thor's Hammer" I think he used Firestone tires on that one if my memory serves me right. You could use any size you wanted. This link will tell you what the total tire diameter would be for each size if you plug in your numbers.

Otherwise, I think monstercraftsman.com has tire diameters listed for each size that they sell and they carry these...

here is what a 4.00-19 and 5.00-16 look like, its not the size you are running but will give you an idea of what will fit.

Jamesg4 I like the look of that scoot!
lol, not mine, calidruiser(josh) built it a couple of years ago and sold it before it was finished.
