Previously a roll on tow truck. getting ready to dig into this project. It has good wheels on the rear end but I need new front wheels and tires. What should I be looking for? I have been reading through the forums here but haven’t found a definitive answer on where to go. Much appreciated for any help | | | | | Joined: Dec 2017 Posts: 4 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2017 Posts: 4 | Anybody on here from eastern pa? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,061 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,061 | Hy Steve70c50, welcome, we need some more information to properly answer your questions. Are you running tube type wheels/tires or tubeless? What is your wheel lug bolt circle dimension and number used for each wheel? | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,877 . | | .

Not sure how to decide if mine are useable or the deadly kind. 10 lug I believe 8.25-20 | | | | | Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 2,061 Big Bolt Forum Moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Moderator Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 2,061 | The easiest way to tell if you have the "deadly kind" is to look at the fronts, if you can see a split ring on the outside of the front wheel, they are not the Firestone RH5. Those, you would look at the rear outside dual, the split is there on the flat part of the wheel. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | 1970 is probably tubeless, unless changed.
