I just bought a F500 dually stake body dump.. it has split rims and the tire size is 8.25 - 20 . I am looking to change these to regular rim but have no idea where to go or what to do. The problem is I cant find anyone to do split rims so if and when i get a flat i am out of business..

thank you

how many wheel lugs? 5 or 6 ?

 

Here's my reply from the 48-60 page. Stu

Tubeless 6 lug x 8.75" bolt circle 22.5s are more common, but still might take some looking to find used and in good shape. New ones are still available from Accuride but will be spendy. Here's the Accuride catalog listing. Go to page 4 of the pdf file, part #28157.

Also, our member Alan (awhtx) contacted me earlier this week that he has a partial set of these that he'd like to sell. His note is in the message section here. You can read it and get his email address by clicking on my user name above. Also our members Kevin Bigwin (bigwin56f100) and Bill Walford (WALFORD'S56) might have a line on a set. I know that Kevin recently sold a set, and Bill also has big trucks so might have a lead on some. Both live in Ohio which would be close for you since you're in PA.

And last, this morning I'm gonna drive south to a small town near here to meet with the owner of a truck parts company that closed its doors yesterday. They have a lot of odd ball sized new and used wheels left in inventory that I'm gonna see about buying if I can negotiate with him. I know they have one set of six lug 22.5s (unfortunately they don't have any five lugs left in stock). If anything comes of that I'll put them in the classifieds here. So there are some options for you. Hope that helps.
