8.5 inch wheel on a rocker?

Saw a pic of a rocker with an 8.5 inch wheel in another thread and wanted to gather some more info on it.

What mods do I have to do (if any) to get it to fit and can anyone suggest a good 8.5 inch wheel

It depends on the manufacture of the wheels. If you order one specifically for the rocker it should bolt right up. I have 8.5 on mine from SMT machining and it bolted right up.

All of the wheels we carry are available in a 18 x 8.5" to fit your Rocker. Almost all the wheels are design to bolt on using your stock axle spacers with no other modifications. Here is a link showing the different wheels we carry and if you have any questions just let me know.

Ok, Iknow with a stock wheel you can use a metz 260 with stock rear fender. But whats the biggest that will fit with a 18x8.5 wheel and a stock rear fender?
I know its a subject thats been beat to death, just I can't find any of the old threads.
