r686st Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'm looking to buy a truck with 10-20 tires and Dayton rims. I've heard that you can change the rims and put tubeless 11-22.5 in there place as an exact replacement. Is that true? If so what size rims will I need? Also, I'm curious if I want to put wide/flotation tires on the steer axle what size rim would I need? Is it even possible to put floats without changing the hub?

39 Baby Mack Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 For 11-22.5's you would use a 22.5x 8.25 rim.Can't answer your other question.Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakebrake86 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Kyle, as for the float situation, I believe if you use up to a 315 22.5, you can use the same rim as you world for an 11r22.5. I know we had 425 floats on a DM with 20'' dayton hubs, but it was a much wider rim than normal. Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r686st Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Jake do you have a picture of the 315 mounted on a truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 The 315 80 R22.5 uses a 9" rim. It will fit on a 8.25" rim but is not recommended.The 9" rim has a heavier weight rating than the 8.25" rim.Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD DOG Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 315's will go on a 8.25 but like Joe said a 9" is recommended if you want to go with a set of 386/65x22.5's you need I believe a 13" rim and 425's wider yet you need to do some measuring to figure what offset you need because you don't want to spend all that $ on rims and tires to find out that the tires rub on the frame when you turn sharp. Also you don't want the rim and tire sticking out past the outside edge of your hood, not to mention too much offset out makes the truck handle like an overloaded wheelbarrow full of wett cement on a 2x4 going down the road. As a rule the offset of the rim shouldn't extend out past the end of the a normal steering hubcap, and you'll have to Jack up your front end and turn the steering and take some measurements to see what would fit but if you have Dayton's on the front or budds or hub pilot you will be able to go with some kind of wider rim and tire. Probably have to order rims in if going new and if used you might have to do a lot of searching to get what you need. Also if you want a bit larger tire to go on an 8.25" rim you could go with a 12rx22.5 put you in between an 11rx22.5 and the 315. To keep your tires the same on the back your 10.00x 22.5's will be the same as a 10rx22.5 11rx22.5's will raise you up about an inch.

r686st Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 So bad dog your saying an 11x22.5 is an inch taller than 10-20's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick harper Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 385/65R22.5 and 425/65R22.5 will us a 22.5 x 12.25 or use a 13" for greater carrying capacity. 10.00x20 is the same as a 11.00R22.5 except the 1100 series is tubeless.
