Compatible Wheel Hardware
6.00-9 forklift tires commonly mount on a 9x4 6-Hole Two-Piece Split Wheel.
Because bolt pattern, center bore, and offset can vary by forklift model, always verify your wheel specifications before ordering wheels or mounted assemblies.
Mounted Tire and Wheel Assemblies
If you want a faster installation path, 6.00-9 is also available as a mounted tire and wheel assembly, which can simplify ordering and reduce downtime compared with sourcing the tire and wheel separately.
