Good points, fellas. I hear what your saying. Certainly I will get an opinion from an outfit that deals primarily with trucks, farm equipment, etc. There's a bunch of shops in the (San Joaquin) valley that cater to the big stuff.
Just thought I'd run it through this forum now because there are just so many of you out there with this interest and experience. It's really cool!
Actually, after reading the very informative Tech article in regard to wheels and tires for Big Bolts in this forum, I went to the Accuride website and checked out some wheels (in the 22.5 size). Lo and behold I found a rim that might work for me. My rim is a 6 lug, with a 8 1/2 diameter bolt pattern, and I need the center hole on the rim to be at least 6 1/4 inches. They have one like that (but I need to check the spec's with more care). But my inclination is not in that direction. It puts me into a tire size that is more like an 8.25 x 20 (instead of 7.50 x 20). So size could be an issue, not to mention the money. So I think I'll try to work it out with originals (find a few spares if some of mine don't work out) at this point.
Thanks folks.
