Got our hands on a few sets of Heidenau ice tires wondering if it’s possible to mount them on stock 6”wide rear wheels with stretching the tire a bit or do you need to find narrower rear rims to get them to mount up
I’m just seeing this now. I might as well respond in case the question comes up again.
At this point, you’ve probably realized that it would be impossible to mount these on a 6" rear wheel. You’ll want to use front sized wheels (Anything from 120mm to 160mm) on all four corners.
Send me one and I’ll get it on a 6-in wheel. Bet. 
I’ll bring one to Rock Island 
PTSD of stretching 6.0s on 10 inch Douglas wheels…

@fatboy1dh easy peasy, we do it all the time here. A little harder on spun aluminums but easily doable unless the tires are cold and hard.
He said 10", not 210mm 
It is NOT easy peasy. It’s sketchy and terrifying.

Fair point, I did misread. I do dirt also though so I know of sketchy and terrifying bead popping. Before I had a steel tire band it was darn near impossible with the multi-stepped beads some of the wheels have.

9.00’s on 11’s are just as scary.
Tire bands, clip on chucks, and hide.
I remember doing ratchet straps and other such stupid death defying stuff.
