I have a 13X650X6 tire that I want to use for the rear tires on my go-kart. I have been looking for wheels and several websites have indicated that a 3.25" wide wheel will work for my tire. I can't see how that can be. That means the wheel would be half the width of the tire. Wouldn't that suck it in way too much? How wide should my wheel be to fit right and where can I get it? Thanks for any info.
