Tires

[eddeere]

Getting ready to put new rubber on the front of my B 61. Has 10R22 with rims with locking rings . I have 6 good 24.5 tubeless rims about 8.25 " wide . All I can find are 11R24.5 tires which should be good on the front. The rears are 10 22 bias ply with 1 3/4 " between the two . I think the 11R24.5 are going to be too close . What are my options ? Are wider spacers available ?

There are wider spacers available, also used to use some add on spacers if you needed just a little spacing, don't remember what they were called, about 1/8 or 3/16 thick, they slid on right on with original spacer.     terry

Was pretty common here to Tack Weld a bit of 1/4 inch rod around the outside of a spacer. if you needed one a bit wider that what you had..

Glad I haven’t been asked to do that; never would’ve gotten a true rotation!

start with a 3 5/8 spacer which was pretty standard on all B models and go from there. the bigger the spacer, the shorter the wedges is a good start. only Macks that ran  a 4''spacer were the ones with true 24'' tires on it

A 11r24.5 is the tubeless equivelant of a 10.00x22.        If I remember right the 10.00 is a tread width where the 11 is a section width at the sidewall bulge         I think I got that right.

Hobrert now you have me more confused .  I can not find 10R24.5 tires My old 10R22 are  about 10" at the bulge and about 8.25" tread . The 22" is the 24.5 tubeless.  I think 11R 24.5 are going to touch on the rears.

I am running 11R24.5 on the rear of my truck using 4" spacers and E5784A Dayton Erie rim clamps.  Have at least 2" between the duals.

What width spacer do you have now?

[Hobert62]

What I ment it to read is the 10 in the tube type and the 11 in the tubeless are measuring 2 diffrent things and are not measuring the same thing.

   J Handcock   I have 3 1/2 " spacers now . Where did you get the spacers an clamps ?     

[j hancock]

I had two spacers left over from something (?) and was able to get two more through Pete's Tire Barn.  Any good truck tire center can get them.

The rim clamps came from Fleetpride.  There are different dimensions for the rim clamps depending on what spacer width you have.  Fleetpride may be able to get the spacers also.

11R24.5 is NOT equivalent to 10.00-22 That equivalent is 10R22.5.

That's if we talk about the size. Moreover, the actual fitting ID of 22.5 tyre is the same as 22 tube type one. The same for 24.5 relating to 24 tube. Once i measured them I was too surprized but that's the fact.

Another story is putting a rim on a hub. If your truck has spokes to ride on 22 tube type rims 24.5 tubless would fit on. Look on the both of them. Old rims seat on spokes by its very center. Tubless rims have additional rim welded in the center. That inner one fits on the hub and the outer (main one) accomodates the tire. That spicing (difference in diameters) allows installing a tire of 2 inch OD larger. So by fitment 22.5 goes onto "20" spokes and 24.5 does on "22".

Overall dimentions are expected by me to be close of 10.00-22 (100.00R22) and 10R22.5. The same for 11.00-24 and 11R24.5. I haven't done sharp measurments and particular tires used to vary of acrtual sizes but in general that rule worked as long as I could find out.

Vlad, I disagree with you. I have a 11r24.5 sitting right next to a 11.00-24 tire in my shop and the 11.00-24 is noticeably larger...

20" tubed = 22.5 tubeless

22" tubed = 24.5 tubeless

24" tubed  - 24" tubed there is no tubeless

Thats it plain and simple a 24 inch is a whole different animal no tubeless equivalent and a much higher load rating

I'm not ready to tell about the outer sizes since the 11.00-24 I have are all deep under snow at the moment.

Another thing I was going to tell is the tire inside diameter, where it seats on a rim bad. Reading figures 24 and 24.5 I expected those sizes to differ for 1/2. But once I made a check my surprize was they happened to be the same. So looked to me .5 inch in the marking was added to notify the tubless type of a tire. But actual fitting size wasn't changed.

Sure the type of tire sidewall is different between tube and tubless setup so no way to fit one instead of another. But just about the geometry it's possible.
