41chevy Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I recently bought a 1969 DM 800 with a Holmes 750 for resto...It came with 12x24 tires on 8 spoke wheel centers.Also included were a set of spiders and 11x20 rims and tires. Are the 20's an option?

ThaddeusW Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 The DM800 was a heavy spec truck so it most likely had 58-65 rears on 22 or 24 inch rubber. The 8 spoke rears I believe are good to 80,000 with 14.00R24 rubber, but then your looking at an over width truck. 20 inch rims would have been found on a DM600.
