bstclee Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Just wondering what wheel/tire options I have with my DM886SX (18 front dayton 6 spoke wheels with 12.00R24 tires). I thought it would be nice to have some floaters on the front. I have a couple different manuals that list a optional wheel/tire 14.00R24 but they say it has a 50mph max. How many different parts to change over to put on some 385-425R22.5 instead?

Maxville Truck Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Lee, I've got about 4 sets of 22.5 spoke hubs for 18,000 fronts in my yard.... my guess is that the will fit right on, the only thing I dont know is if the drums will match up. other wise I changed a set over to hub pilot for a customer that wanted aluminum floats. all we need for that was HUBS, BEARINGS, SEALS, AND NEW DRUMS. Call me I should be in the shop all day...Chris Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/2811-dm-wheeltire-option/#findComment-13675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK Trucking Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 How many different parts to change over to put on some 385-425R22.5 instead?As long as you're changing to the 22.5 hubs, I would suggest using 445/65 R 22.5 floatation tires.Wider footprint, larger diameter for more ground clearance.The diameter would more closely match the 12.00 24's on your drives.
