Let’s face it, there are limited options for big bolt rims. Ultimately I’d love to have 22.5s on mine. I would love to find someone who makes adaptors from 10x7.25 4.75 center to the 22.5 pattern. The pic below is my inspiration.
Those original wheels from the first days of tubeless tires are around. Look on late '50's farm trucks. Someone had some made, in AZ, on a blue Chevy 1.5 ton truck. Look in Show Time, 3 years ago or so.

'37 GMC T-18 w/ DD 4-53T, RTO-610, 6231 aux., '95 GMC running gear, full disc brakes, power steering, 22.5 wheels and tires. '47 GMC 1 ton w/ 302, NP-540, 4wd, full width Blazer front axle. '54 GMC 630 w/ 503 gasser, 5 speed, ex fire truck, shortened WB 4', install 8' bed. '55 GMC 370 w/270, 420 4 speed, grain, dump bed truck from ND. Works OK.
Tony292, I got a local machine shop to make adapters for my 6400 10 bolts to make the centers on newer wheels work with the smaller hub of the older truck. I can't find any 22.5's that will fit either, but I got 19.5's off an RV. They are about 5 inches shorter, but still better than widow Makers.
The truck is my 2 ton Chevy '50 COE, which you can see in the Gallery, linked below in my signature. I had that done more than a decade ago and very happy with the results. I would research where one might get this service today. Kent
