Re: slick size question (TurboSohc3369)
you shouldnt mount a 7" wide slick on a 9" wide rim. Slicks have a specified range of rim widths that they can be mounted on. They usually are within 1-1.5" smaller than the rim width.
If you have an 8.5" slick, it usually requires something a 7.5-8" wide rim to fit the best so you will have the best contact patch on the tire.

the 7.5" is closer to the slick width, its better than the 9" of course. are you set in using that particular slick size? you might get better traction with a wider slick.
23x8x13 or even a 24.5x8.5x13
