I have a 1962 GMC with 3/4 ton axles (8 lug rim). I have 3 original rims (9.50-16.5), and two (12-16.5) in the back I would like to replace with originals. I got the 3 originals to bead with a little creative chain, come-along, and 2x4 persuasion and they held air, I did the same with the two 12-16.5's and 1 of them held while the other blew a 3 inch hole out of the sidewall. So i put those on there so the city doesn't come down on me but i don't want to stress any parts by driving with 1 giant back tire and 1 normal one and, although my tires hold air they are far to cracked and bald and had sat for years flat. So I'm not driving anywhere but a few feet forward and back once or twice a week. I know that there are a couple different hub sizes and a lot of newer rims wont fit. I guess I'm not sure what specs to give to the guy over the phone to check if anyone close by has one. I had taken a rim into a few places last year and nobody had a match. all they had was a whole set of newer rims that were way out of my price range. any help regarding the dimensions of the stock ones that would be greatly appreciated.
