Tubeless Rim info required...

I have had a good think about it and given that I can get only bartreads here and the cost of them is quite rude I'm going to look into getting tubeless rims fabricated using the Budd centres. Has anyone got any pics of their centres in tubeless rim bands and if so do you also have the dimensions?? Charles suggested 315/75/r16's, I may even go to 325/80/16's and although they are expensive tyres they are freely available and come in a good selection of tread patterns.
I think I posted a similar request quite some time ago on a previous version of the forum so please forgive my forgetfulness :?
MM :D

Thanks Tanner, but don't go to too much trouble on my account, a local sale would be easier and less hassle for you.
Here goes though:
Poastal address is - 28 Ormond Street
Launceston Tasmania Australia 7250

I suspect it'll be :shock: on the freight LOL, Not to worry, I do have a spare set of Budd rims here that I could take the centres out of if need be, unreal the cost of tyres and raw rim bands now though, then again, in 20 years time we'll be saying how cheap they were waaay back then :wink:
Another good point in your other post is the fitment over the disc brake conversion but I couldn't see it being a problem given the offset.
