Hi, iam looking for some rims that will fit the stock 10 lug hubs on a 41 chev truck. Does anyone know of a straight replacement? I want to keep the dually set up. The bolt pattern is 190mm 10 lug
190mm x .03937" = 7.480" which is unusual, could they be 7.25", which is a standard 5/10 lug dimension? Anyway, if this the case, I presume they are 20" tires. The only standard replacement is another of the same wheel.
Another option, if they exist in Oz, would be 22.5" tubeless rims, which came out in late '50's trucks when tubeless tires first became available for trucks. They used to be common in the 'states on farm trucks, so that might the best place to look. One can mount up to 9" x 22.5" tires on these rims.
Good luck,
Ed

Hi Cuda,thanks. Turns out the numbers on the tape measure weren't in the right order and they are in fact 7.25'. Do you know if the 19.5' rims from the c3500hd fit over the brake drums.
I had factory 19.5's on my '94/'95 GMC 3500HD, so, I'm sure they will fit yours. However, like was said above, they look undernourished compared to 20's or 22.5's, direct replacement.

They may or may not fit over the rear drums on the old truck, you’d have to test fit and see. Tires would be 8R19.5 at 32-33” tall.
Alcoa did make aluminum 19.5” wheels with 10 lug on 7.25” bolt circle, but not any time recently. I’m not aware of any vehicle they came on standard, possibly some motor home. In any case they’re real hard to find.
