Just get 4 that hold air 'til you're ready. Would hate to wreck a good tire with a torch or weld spatter. Perhaps you might be lucky enough to find some factory 5.5" X 22.5" rims(tubeless) on '50's Chevy or GMC trucks, by the time you are finished. Take 9.00 tire, though.
'37 GMC T-18 w/ DD 4-53T, RTO-610, 6231 aux., '95 GMC running gear, full disc brakes, power steering, 22.5 wheels and tires.
'47 GMC 1 ton w/ 302, NP-540, 4wd, full width Blazer front axle.
'54 GMC 630 w/ 503 gasser, 5 speed, ex fire truck, shortened WB 4', install 8' bed.
'55 GMC 370 w/270, 420 4 speed, grain, dump bed truck from ND. Works OK.
