Rob Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Those do look nice. I think I have the same ones but it's been years since I had them out of the box. Are those 22.5" rims?

mack4ever Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 These are 22.5 rims.in europe almost every tire is 22.5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61457-new-wheels/#findComment-445524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Hi Leon; They certainly look nice. I'd found a pair many years ago painted over with spray paint but appeared perfect. I had them professionally polished after stripping them clean and they'll go onto one of my trucks someday. Mine are 22.5" also.

Did you redrill the stud holes for the old style nuts or swapped the hubs?

85snowdog Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Your looks so good, it deserve to be upright Truck looks really good. I think the fenders suit it. I'm not a fan of plastic fenders. 1 Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61457-new-wheels/#findComment-446353 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise (and the correct way) is to install newre style hubs for newer hub piloted wheels. On the pic of the rear hub you can see wheel nuts for the old style wheels. But seems not easy to find such ones in the design of the front ones on the truck. So I expected some mod.

Those front wheels are old Alcoas,the first tubeless aluminum wheels they made just had the 5 holes and they used the conventional budd studs,not hub pilot. They are a little had to find,but not impossible, I have a few . 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61457-new-wheels/#findComment-454075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditchdiggerjcf Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) That truck is awesome. Note: I went back to caucasion style nomenclature so you white debils can understand.
