they wont - but you need to get the larger forks - rims and then the tires - you can find the forks on Ebay most times - you can reuse the same bolts etc,

For what its worth, 5/16 is 7.9375 Or damned near 8mm. So close that its just 0.06 of 1 mm different. A cigarette paper or less. Which for a bolt is close enough. For a bearing not so much...

I looked at the scooter wheel/tire/tube assembly on EBay and it states that the axle size is 10mm (3/8"), so I would have to drill out the Quickie forks from 5/16".

unless your set on getting new rims also - you can use the stock sunrise quickie rims they are plastic two pieace and this size tire fits it fine - then you wont have to drill anything - -
expresso wrote:i wonder if using this Rim tire setup on a quickie chair - instead of trying to drill new holes on the fork for the 10mm size - would it be possable to just change out the bearings on this rim tire combo for the correct size bolt and leave the forks alone ?

also on the stock rim - there is another sleave that goes thur the bearings which the 5/16 bolt slides in between -
maybe you can still use the stock bolt but without the sleave ? or change out just the bearings and use the stock sleave and bolt -

number 9 - but this all comes in a set - so not cost effective -
of up find a pair on ebay - larger forks - with tires rims etc, - dont worry about the condition of the tires - all you want is the fork - and rim - should have everything you need -
