Agreed, and a 6" rim is standard on TMs.

Way back in the mists of time, RockyMountainRay, our original towing guru, put his new 15" tires on 7" rims, thinking it would be even stronger. Turned out to be a disaster - too wide, and rubbed badly. I recall that he had to do a mod to the shape of the fender skirt, using a heat gun.
