8.25's were mounted on both 6.0" wheels and 6.5" wheels, Budd or Dayton. 6.5 was recommended. 9.00's were mounted on 6.5" or 7.0" with 7.0 recommended. The alternate doesn't allow the sidewalls to be straight and might have a slight negative effect on tire durability, but a lot of trucks used them and you shouldn't have any problem. Go ahead and remount the tires on the Budd wheels. In the long run, they're easier and faster to work with. As I've stated before, Daytons were used east of the Mississippi and Budds were used west of the Mississippi. There aren't too many people left that know how to mount the wheels on Daytons.
