They are Daytons, with 9x20 and 10x20 tires. I have 8.25x20s. If I recall correctly, 7.5s and 8.25s fit one width rim, and 9s and 10s fit a wider rim. Is that correct? It's a good deal if they fit my size tires, but useless if they don't. If they won't fit mine, I'll post a link here so someone else can get a deal.
Thanks,

If you need to run a relatively narrow wheel and tires like the 7.50x20 or 8.25x20 you may need to stick with 20" rims, unless you first check and see if the narrowest 22.5" rim you can actually find will fit OK. To answer some of your original questions about what tires fit what rims follow along these links. Sticky thread about wheels and tires https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthread...els-and-tires-what-to-do.html#Post867617Tech Tip referenced (big link) in that thread also found in tech tip menu top right of every forum page. https://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/wheels/Accuride catalog linked in tech tip. https://www.accuridecorp.com/files/2012/10/Accuride-Wheels-Product-Catalog-Summer-2011.pdfScan on down to pages 45, 46, 47, and particularly page 48 where you can see recommended rim widths and alternate widths suitable for various tire sizes. Furthermore, each tire manufacturer list appropriate rim widths for each tire they make. So if you already have a specific tire in mind also check what rim width they want you to use. Grigg | | |
