I got the wheel home tonight and using 2 drums I have in the garage here are some pics.
Here is the wheel:

The wheel is installed over the front hub and drum brake. Looks like there is plenty of room here:

So I think I am going to call this a success and be on the lookout for some of these wheels and try them out with tires on the bus. I'll keep the test wheel for a few days so when I can get outside when it's not raining and slip it on to see what the size ratio is for the bus I can see if it is what I truly want.
