Dan,
Yes, the 22.5" wheels I have from a 56 1.5 ton have 5.25" center holes.
I have axles from the mid 90's under my truck, so they already have the 5.25" hub (they changed from 4.75 to 5.25 over 1953/54)
You can find stock 20" three piece wheels no problem, most every AD 1.5 and 2 ton truck has them.
Ya know with all this talk about how dangerous these 2 piece wheels are I was gettin scared to take them off my truck,but I'm still here and they're off the truck ! thanks again
Dan
There is a mentality out there that any wheel with more than one piece is a "widow maker" and that all these wheels are a huge problem, no one will work on them, and every last person that tries to gets killed in the process.
This is not true! With this Tech Tip John and I have tried to educate people about wheels and that most multi piece wheels are truly OK to use. Check out the last three "definitions" in the tip.
The "Split Rim wheels" definition, click the link to the Budd wheel catalog. The wheel shown at the bottom left is the one to avoid, all the rest are reasonably safe if the wheel is in good shape and treated with respect.
