[F500] Question about wheels?

[Jeff Blumenthal]

Bryan:
   You mount the tires on two-piece wheels the same as if they were 
one-piece (don't take them apart).  My experience with the O-rings isn't 
good so I don't use them.  Instead, I use a bead of RTV sealant (or 
similar silicone type) to seal where the two halves join together.  You 
do not use an inner tube.  If your front rims are 5" wide, you should be 
able to mount the 6" tires with no problem. Just do it carefully so you 
don't bend the rims.  There are several wheel vendors that make 10" 
wheels.  Douglas, Keizer, Kodiak, Real, are a few that many of us use. 
 Websites can be found doing a Google search.
Good Luck-
