Sorry, I know there are various takes on this question, but I'm getting conflicting answers.
Have any of you installed a 6.00x6 wheel on the stock (non-heavyduty) fork on a Cessna 182 (mine is the 182K). I know for a 7.00 or bigger I need to move up to the Airglas or a 310 fork, but can I get the 6.00x6 on my stock fork?

Re: 6.00x6 Nose Wheel on 182K
No, the whole thing is setup for a 5" wheel, so there is not way to mount a 6" tire to 5" wheel. You need to move up to HD/310 fork for 6.00x6 or 7.00x6. Airglas for anything bigger.
