I have reading the posts on here regarding finding wheels/tires to replace the originals.
I am pretty certain that the rear duallies are the RH5 (Widow maker) due to the center rise and description on the Tech Tips page. I have measured them and the 10-bolt circle is 7.25" diameter and 5.25" inner circle. How do I tell if these are Bud wheels? I am assuming they are hub piloted, I will pull one of the nuts off in the morning to see if it is straight or beveled.
My front wheel is what confuses me the most. It is only a 5 bolt patern but there are 10 holes total with 5 of the holes blank? Is this the clamp plate I was reading about on the tech tips page? The rim is 22.5" diameter, bolt patern measures 7.25" diameter, and the center circle measures 4.5" (where do i make this measurement for this wheel)? Does anyone have photos of a front wheel like this taken off the hub? Looking at all the rims and literature I am still uncertain as to what type of rim I have for the front.
Here are some pictures of my rear dually and front wheels. Any help in identifying or answering these questions would be greatly appreciated. I have started looking for a set of rims from a 1956-1959 chevy 1.5 ton for tubeless replacements so I can put radials on it.
