Default Will these slicks fit on a 13" steelie?

I found these tires for sale, and I had a set of 13" steelies lying around.

Will these slicks fit on 13" steelies?

You should check with M/T to see what the minimum width requirement is for those slicks. I'm pretty sure a 13" steelie is too narrow. Lenso's would probably be your best bet.

Direct Quote: "Acceptable practice for rim width is tread width plus or minus 1 inch."

Well, most 13" Honda steelies are 5" wide, so you'd be pushing it.

I have a set of 13" VX rims with slicks on them, I should check the size tonight if I make it to the shop. Very lazy lately.
