Need help deciding what size rim and tire for my Hutch project. I've decide Hubs (36) but what width tires/rims? I greatly appreciate all help

Thanks
Steve

Steve I would use a 1.75 rims unless it's about saving weight then 1.50 or even 1 3/8. As far as Tire size we always ran a fat/skinny setup a 1.75 in back and 2.125 in front or just 1.75 F&B. The reasom for the Fat/Skinny was more grip in the turns on the front wheel and less weight in the back or something about rotating mass. If it's Freestyle then 1.75 F&B

Any certain brands I should look at. I've been watching Ukai's, Araya's and ACS's on ebay. Are those ok choices? Sadly I can't remember what I had on my Hollywood almost 20 years ago. They seemed a lot skinnier then a standard rim/tire though.

No certain brand I myself like Araya 7X But I also have Ukia's,Skyway Tuff Wheels and ACS Z Rims. They are all good wheels. You mostlikely had a race setup witch would be a 1 3/8 but if a 175 lbs guy tried to ride them they would fold like a pretzel.

Pretty good guess I am right at 175lbs, lol. Now that I think about it back then I was more 115-120ish So looks like I'll be shopping in the 1.75 world lol

If money weren't an issue, I'd go Bullseye hubs with Araya 1.5 aero rims or if you can possibly find TurboLite or ProClass rims. It would be freakin' sweet and light to boot. TNT hubs are also a good choice.

I would say Araya 7X Hutch Ti Hubs Areo's look cool but most guys ran 7X's as far as Turbolites On a Hucth?? That's Like Putting a Buick Motor In A Ford??

How about these Araya's would they be a acceptable rim for me Hutch?

I noticed they are 1 1/2's, due to my weight should I just stick with 1.75 width rims? Sorry to ask so many questions, just don't want to buy wrong stuff.

They are much newer then your frame but if thats what you prefer there are alot of people that combine old/new school. Most newer rims are Double or Triple Walled so they do hold more weight. I am not sure about the RB17

if's it a 80's hutch then i'd go with 80's wheels.
trying to get some hutch hubs would be the thing to do

Still trying to find me some Araya's or Ukai's. Found lots of sets of 20x1 1/8 but those are too skinny correct? I'm really trying to find some 20x1.75's in chrome or silver, preferably chrome. I guess my search continues
