Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Sep 2012 Posts: 103 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2012 Posts: 103 | So, I have a chevy 51 COE with a 3500 rear axle, dually, 10lug, 5.25 ctr.
I am thinking about putting the single wide drag type mickey thompson wheels/tires on the back of the truck. I think they only come in 15 inch rims with 5 holes. is some type of adapter available or is this a possible thing to do? The front wheels are the 19.5 wheels(p30)
Thanks

I'm sure you could have custom wide wheels made with whatever pattern you want.

I called detroit steel wheel a while ago. They would not do a custom bolt pattern as aI was looking at their wheels for the front.
You know of any company that will make a super single per say in a 19.5 ?
thanks

And Wheels Now, I forget where they are.
I hesitate to recommend Stockton Wheel in CA, though some chance they are better than they have been in the past. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,903 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 4,903 | I don't think wide base tires are made in anything but 22.5. Instead of messing with adapters, why not put in a modern axle with hub piloted hubs. Zero offset 14x22.5 wheels would give you about the right width or you can go with 2" offset. I use both. And there is a wide variety of ratios available. | | |
