I need your help

Brown Swiss · Jul 31, 2019

So the truck I am working on has some split rims and they are not going back on, so if any of you guys know where I can get some 20 inch Budd wheels for the GMC it would be greatly appreciated. Shipping should not be a problem as we have trucks all over the lower 48 states. Yes I work for a trucking company, pulling mostly oversize loads on stepdecks or XL trailers. It is a 56 GMC and has 8.25 20". Thank you.

Look into a 22.5 tubeless that they'replaced the 7,800 20 with lock rings.

If military rims will work there are several places in Utah and Idaho you can get tire and rims together for under 200 each

Do you want tube type or tubeless???

If you want tube type any school bus salvage yard should have lock ring rims.

If you want tubeless look for 22.5 rims and put low pro tires on them.

I would let the tire price make my decision.

Don't worry about tires it will have all new rubber when done.

are the rims split at the hole for the valve stem or just the rings split if its just the rings they are not a problem mount them all the time and i have never seen a 20 tube tire that is not a one or two peace ring rim

I agree,22.5 rims are the way to go.

I just saw a the picture of the truck. I believe the modern 19.5s on the new box vans(like UPS runs)use the same bolt pattern. It might be worth a look.

I have a truck I need to do tires and rims on. Years back that 22.5 conversion was quite popular. Haven't seen any as of late guess the old trucks are gone too. Try ebay and other internet sites. Most of what I dealt with were Ford and dodge 5 bolt.

A picture of the bolt pattern and dimensions would help. 5,6,8,10 bolt also?
