Was getting discouraged about finding replacement wheels after reading everything on here and elsewhere. Came across something today that I'm hopeful will work. They're a complete set of split/ lock ring off what I'm guessing to be a 1940s truck. Tires on em are 7.5 x 20 hub piloted 4.75 x 10 hole 7.25. Stud holes look a little small and may need expanded slightly.
The couple unmounted look dang good inside - we'll' see what I find on the others.
Haven't check the backspace/offset yet but looks very close.
Has anyone on here used the older rims on their outfit? Got pictures but don't think I can post yet. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 1,611 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 1,611 | The only issue I could see is that the older rims would be to narrow for later and larger truck applications. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 27 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2017 Posts: 27 | Thanks for the input. Are you thinking they'd be too narrow functionally or from a looks standpoint? The truck has 8.25 x20's on now and the rh-5's are 6.5 inches wide. The older rims are 6.0 inches wide and I was hoping they would support 8 or 8.25 tires. Also, I was wrong about the studs, they are the same size. Thanks for any feedback, Mark | | |
