RE: 16"front rim
Sure thing.
If you have a wide front end the tire will easily fit. The tire will also fit on a narrowglide front fork but the clearance is closer.
All you need to get is the following:
new set of spokes and nipples.........http://www.buchananspokes.com/
new rim
new tire and tube
Build your new wheel (or pay someone to do this) using your existing hub, axle, spacers etc.
If you call Buchanan Spokes and tell them what rim and hub you are using they will tell you what length spoke you need as well as the different spoke materials offered. You can buy direct from them using a credit card........pg
