Changing Hubs for 16" rims & tires?

[gmohr]

Thanks for the welcome Hank. We do love our Cougar and are looking forward to our trip.

Our Cougar is all stock but I see you have changed your suspension on your 5er. We are
thinking of doing the same on our unit. Thank you for the post in mods about yours. One
question is did you have to change the hubs to swap to 16" rims and tires?

No you don't. You can get 16" the same bolt pattern and offset as 15". Tire clearance is more of a concern. Slide mechanisms limit tire width and wheel-well clearance and axle spread limit tire height. Closely measuring each tire location is critical to the choice of tire size. Hope this helps, Hank
