i recall shirley added the rims to his chair etc, but it didnt add any width over the 3.50 x 8 tire he was using before ? i think he went to 10 inch rims - but seems the same width from some pictures i seen a while back

If i understand you correctly BM - does this mean that if i used the rims from shirley with a hub adapter he may make for me - and use the same 3.50 x 8 tire on a 2.5 rim - this would make my chair even wider than it is right now at 26.5 inches ?

You dont need a machinist. I just ordered some disks cut by laser online, and used a pillar drill in my bedroom.

As we mentioned before 120 tyres make it wider. Because the rim and tyres are wider! As on my salsa.
Burgerman wrote:You cannot fit a 3.5 tyre to a 3.5 rim as the wheel is going to end up wider than the tyre by 1/2 an inch. Because the beads are each 1/4 wide.
And again, even if you did, it wouldnt change anything. Forget about rims for a moment.
Your motors, the bit where the brushes go, that can, is the limiting factor.
It goes across the chair like this.
Tyre + motor can -------------------- motor can + tyre.
3.50 + motor can -------------------- motor can + tyre.
OR
120mm or 5 inches + motor can ------------------- motor can + 120mm or 5 inches.
So unless you can move those cans in, like BM2, BM3 chairs, that can to can distance is fixed.
