I want to be able to put on radial tires so it is more useable. thanks. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 |

Wheels are off of an old bread truck and accept the original hubcaps. Tire size is 8r-19.5 and are about 33" or so tall. Pretty close to 7.50-17's. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 8 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 8 | I have a single rear wheel | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 38 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 38 | Ghostrider, did you have to put the clips on the bread truck wheels to get the hub cap to fit? looks just like the origanals! good job and love the truck!
If it's broke hit it harder!

The wheels already had the clips on them, worked out pretty well. I love the truck too...thanks.
Link up some photos of your 3800. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | There have been quite a few posts on this subject but there is a new option. I have 16" rims on mine with tubless radials and they have worked out really well. The hard part was finding the 16x6 rims with the proper backset. According to their advertisements, Wheel Vintiques now makes these new and offers a variety of widths and offsets. They also have baby moons that will fit the non clip rims. | | |
