20" Widow Maker Rims KILL!!!!!!!!!!!
I Need help please - I have a 66 F500 dump truck with 20" 6 lug widow makers on it. I want to go with a tubeless solid rim. Can I go with a 22.5? And can it be found in 6 lug bolt pattern. Also how tall are 22.5 tires. My 20" are 40" tall. Will they fit. Widow Makers kill and they got to go!!!! THANKS

6 hole budd 22.5 rims
Howdy rusty body,
welcome to the FTE site, you mentioned that you are looking for some 6 hole budd 22.5 wheels. i have about 16 of them, the only thing is that i see you are in PA, and i am in CALIF, if you are interested i can weigh one and see what it would cost to ship 6 or 7 of them maybe through greyhound ?? but you might be able to find them in your area since they are not rare, I know they used them a lot on U haul trucks from the 70's.

Thanks for the information Gentlemen - My bolt pattern is 6 lug 8 3/4 bolt circle 6 1/2 center bore. All 20" rims are split. I am thinking of going with a 22.5 but not sure if they will be to big to fit under my 66 F500 dump. My 20" tires are 39 1/2 tall. And also not sure if 22.5 rims will fit over my drums. Junk yards in my area never heard of 22.5 6 lug only 10 lug. I would also go with a 19.5 if they can be found in my bolt pattern. Has anybody ever done this kind of swap before? THANKS and Happy THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!

22.5 rims
rusty body I dont think you will have a problem with height under your fenders, and they will fit your drum fine. I have some size 8-22.5 tires mounted up already i will measure how tall they are tomorrow to give you an idea, what are your tire size 8.25 20, 9.00 20, ??
