8 inch wheels on an Avid

[Trackwelder 12]

Looking at some of the pictures of tundra tires on Avids, my tires are looking a little weather checked around the sidewalls and I don't know about planes but for a car I would be nervous. Any how I would like to figure out how to mount 8 inch wheels. I know some of you have used Kitfox hubs but is there another way to do it. I have a couple of old ATVs that look like I could mount both the hubs and brakes any thoughts?

I looked at quite a few different ATV hubs to try and find something I could use.  Was never able to come up with something I likes.  I found a used set of kitfox hubs and picked those up but have never swapped over.  I am going to just use 26" airstreaks for mine next year.  Right now my 24" are doing OK but are heavy, and I will be going to floats then skis for the winter soon.

I have 8" rims with tundra tires on my Bandit.

Ok Bandit how did you do it. I want the same set up.

I had them custom made, then put 21" King Fox tires on them. Matco sells 8" rims with brakes.
