ClayCarlos03 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Going from 11R24.5 to 315/80/22.5. Is anyone running a 22.5X8.25 rim? Do I need to get a 9” rim instead? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75166-rim-size/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Weeks Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Really you do, if you want to take advantage of that tires weight capacity. You might get it on and seated, but the rim is only rated for 7K. A 9" rim can carry more, IIRC 9K. Also 9" is the design width rim for that size. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75166-rim-size/#findComment-569432 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I need to do anything to move to a 315/80/22.5 with a 9”rim or is it as simple as taking off the 24.5 and putting on the 22.5?

Geoff Weeks Posted Saturday at 08:44 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:44 PM Then it is just bolt on. Spokes would take a hub and cleat change. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75166-rim-size/#findComment-569464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adkat Posted Saturday at 08:46 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:46 PM 295/80/22.5 is a stretch on an 8.25 rim, definitely a 9" for a 315. May need to go with offset rims to give more clearance for the wider tires, and you'll need to check there's no fouling on steering box, pitman arm, drag link while turning, 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75166-rim-size/#findComment-569465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
