1958 F.W.D. Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) NEEDED: six 22" x7.5" 10 hole stud pilot rims, used in good condition. Preferably somewhere in eastern PA but will travel within a reasonable distance. Edited April 27, 2018 by 1958 F.W.D.

Rob Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I have rims but getting them to you would be a few bucks. They have junk tires on them too so complete. I'd wager they are early 1960's vintage as the chassis they are on is a 1962. Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

1958 F.W.D. Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Thank you kind sir, I posted on facebook and Underdog was kind enough to reply that he has them for me, all I have to do is sandblast and paint them. Best part of all is hes only about 15 miles from me. Changing the F.W.D. from tubes to tubeless.

Rob Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I can't say I've ever seen 22.5" X 7.5" stud pilot rims myself. Most are 8.25" wide. I did have 22.5" X 7.5" 335mm bolt circle hub pilot rims on my Mid-Liner trucks. Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

j hancock Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Not a super popular size but they are still available brand new. 10 hole 11.25 bolt circle 8.72 bore. There should be some kicking around.

Rob Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 One thing about the 7.5" rim running 11RX22.5" rubber is if the truck has a consistent heavy steer axle load the tires will wear fine. If lightly loaded, expect reduced life as the sidewalls a squeezed a little tight rolling the outer edge of the tread outward. This causes feathering on the outer perimeter. Don't let tire pressure run low in that combination. My Mid-Liners were all carriers so had a good load on the steer axle which flattened the tread against the pavement.
