I have a 1956 22 passenger school bus. It's a shorty. I had a set of the 22.5s, but for me it did not look good because the tires were so tall, 9R22.5s. So I got a set of 19.5s with 8R19.5 tires and i like the look a lot better. I am making it a hotrod for the family. We have 6 kids and wanted to be able to all go at once like you described. I had a T bucket, but that had no room for ANY kids. Anyway here are some pics of my bus with both sets of wheels for comparison.
