Joe Ditchkus Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 9" rims are the one called for on 315/80 22.5" tires. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 They will fit on 8.25" rims but not recommended. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theakerstwo Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 The 8.25 is not heavy enough rim also to support the air pressure you need in the 3.15 for its rated weight.I have 9" rims but went back to 11R tires with out any problem.The 3.15 tire ride better than 11R also.

MACKS Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Forgot all about the rim weight rating definitely will go with the 9 inch width,thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody454 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 nine inch, not sure if the offset is enough different than the 8.25 to make a difference on a lift axle or not. on a steer axle you might have to adjust the stops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 You can get 9" wheels in several offsets, some are flat "float" style wheels while others are hard to tell from a std wheel, biggest difference is thickness and they all have small hand holes.

dondiesel444 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have 315's on 9" wheels on my steerable lift axle. the truck originally had 11r22.5's on regular 8.25's but I happened to come across a set of used 9" wide ones at a junkyard so I bought them. however, when one of the wheels developed a crack and I needed a replacement, I couldn't find another used 9" wide wheel anywhere, I called junkyards all over. so I had to buy a new one, aluminum accuride. 8.25's are a dime a dozen but good luck finding a used 9"!I've seen guys run 315's on 8.25's on their front axles before! on the tag that might be ok but I wouldn't do it on a steer axle.oh my 9" wheels look just like regular 8.25 dual wheels, but they are much thicker. they do make 9" wide flat face wheels, they look more like a 11 or 12" wide wheel that a 385 or 425 would go on.

bruiser Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I have a pair of durabrights 9x22.5 that I had accidently put brightener on and the finish came off. They could possibly polish out nicely. I would let these go for $200. Near Pitt. Pa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilbur Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I was thinking of using these tires on a 8.25 rim on a trailer as a super single. Tires are rated for 9000lbs each. What you think.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilbur Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Never thought about the wheel being good for 9,000#. What if I bought 9 x 22.5 wheels with a 0 offset and the 315/80 tires would that work as a super single on a 22' dump trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
