You need the matching rims for the tires, just to remind you.

Yes I have now got a matching set. Thank you

It looks to me like the wheels on this orange fast back are 20x2.125 rear and 20 x1 3/4 front is tha correct? Those are the correct tires for a Stingray not fastback. I believe 1 3/8 is fastback. The Junior Stingray will have front and back S-7 which is 20 x1 3/4 not 1.75 different tires.

The Fastback wheels are the S5 rims and take special tires..

I LOVE this Fastback.. I built up a Kia Muscle bike a few years ago with a pair of s5 wheels that were looking for a home, so I fit them along with a pair of Ramshorn bars and I named it the Kia FastTrack. It turned out really Cool with og yellow paint and a black and white banana seat.. RideOn..

Awesome that sounds incredible. Yeah I originally had planned on leaving the stingray wheels on the bike and then it just didn't look right with my other fastback. And I'd already bought tires for the stingray wheels. I ended up using the front wheel on my 3-wheeler but now I've got a perfectly good rear wheel with a brand new tire on it

Just for the record, and to confuse this topic even further, a 20 x 1 3/8 and a 20 x1 1/4 (S-5 or S-6 rim) DO NOT take a special Schwinn tire. From a tire fitting "stand point" all 20 x 1 3/8 and 1 1/4 tires are the same. Not to be confused with the 24" and 26" sizes which are different and require special Schwinn sizes.

Obviously we are talking about "fitting the rim". Not the difference between rear Schwinn slik's and front tires which are only different tire treads.

Now that I think of it I found a s5 front wheel in a bone yard a few years back that needed a front tire and tube and was a standard size 20x1 1/4" size..
