9.00 X 22.5 Wheels

[Packer]

Found some nice 9.00 X 22.5 tires to hold up my 'EF'.

The plan was to change the old split-rim tube-type with tube-less tires of the same size.

The ones I found are even steel radial.

Here is the issue:

The rims I have are for 11.00 X 22.5 tires and 'IF' (and that's a BIG if) I could get them mount, The sidewalls will be laying nearly flat to reach both sides fo the rim.

The 11.00 X 22.5 rims measure 9 in. inside-to-iside.

Here is the $64.00 question.

Can I get Dayton rims that are 7 in inside?

Daytons out here get you a funny look and a shake of the head, so I'm looking for some Eastern

input to get me on the right track! (Or any where else, for that matter)

Thanks Guys!!!

For 11R22.5's you want 8.25 inch rims. Here in WI that size rim is a dime a dozen, whether Dayton, Unimount, or old type Budd.

Those 9 inch rims are good for someone who wants to upgrade to 315/80R22.5's on a steer axle, I'm sure you could sell them easy enough.

Yes, I have seen 7" 22.5 Dayton rims, bought a set at a local junkyard once to use on a pusher axle.

Thanks for the info!!

I picked up some rims for 11.00 tires.

The inside- the-flange measurement is 9 in.

I assume that these are 8.25 inch wheels.

I've mounted 11.00 X 22.5 tires on them and they work well.

The 9.00 X 22.5 tires would never air up on these wheels.

Way too much room to fill.

The 7 inch wheel should work much better.

Now all I have to do is find some!

Dayton wheels in the Rockies are like hens' teeth - - - You've heard of them but never seen any!!!
