Motorcycle Repair: ATV RIMS, rim size, shively

Question
IF THE RIM IS TO SMALL OR TO LARGE FOR THE ATV WILL IT STILL WORK ON YOUR ATV?  I HAD MY TIRES CHANGE AND I THINK THEY GAVE ME THE WRONG RIM FOR IT AND MY TIRE WENT FLAT.  COULD THE RIM BEING TO LARGE FOR MY BIKE BE THE CAUSE OF THIS?  PLEASE HELP!

Hi Laurie,

Q:  "...IF THE RIM IS TO SMALL OR TO LARGE FOR THE ATV WILL IT STILL WORK ON YOUR ATV?"

A:  Rims can be larger or smaller as long as the rim size matches the tire size.


Q:   "...I HAD MY TIRES CHANGE AND I THINK THEY GAVE ME THE WRONG RIM FOR IT AND MY TIRE WENT FLAT.  COULD THE RIM BEING TO LARGE FOR MY BIKE BE THE CAUSE OF THIS?

A:   Not likely.
