Hi all
Will a XXL 240/40R-18 Rear Marathon ME880 fit on any (and I do mean
any!) four lug type of car rim? I need it for a project I`m building.
Thanks steve

Never seen a 4-lug wheel that big. How about modifying a motorcycle wheel
to fit a 4-lug hub?

So, are the car rims in question intended for tubeless tires? Do they have
triangular bead-retaining ridges? If so, the MC tire should work on the car
tubeless rim...

I was asking Doug Bingham, who builds sidecars, the opposite question: will
automotive tubeless radials fit on motorcycle tubeless rims. He said that they
would work.
But automotive radial tires on motorcycles were squirrelly feeling...<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Hey as a hack driver I knowd that one! You can use a car radial on the
sidecar and it even stabilizes the ride, but it's not a good idear on a solo
bike like yoo sed.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
