Bob, here is what is made by Goodyear labeled for land-speed racing. Scroll down to page 8, or last page. Looks like only one is available in the sizes you state and it asks for a 4.5" inch wide rim, but states down below that width can vary 1" up or down." *** Rim width tolerance is plus or minus one inch from specified Rim Width ***" Goodyear contacts are listed below tire sizes on same page.

Hope this helps,

Tom G.

I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Summit had tires in stock. $760 each plus tax. Ordered them they said they had eight. Long as they get here. Talk about sticker shock!

That's what they said about my high school girlfriend.
