45WFA31 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I am interested in putting modern size tires on these old style 20 inch split rims. Is there a metric conversion? What is the modern equivalent to the 7.00x20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Stephenson Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I'm so experienced on 20" split rims, I have part numbers, pictures, and a need for 4 Goodyear 7.50 x 20, 10 hole, ball & socket, Budd wheels. I have a source, but lack pick up and delivery capabilities. Ruth and are considering a 20'er full of 7.50 to 9.00, and even 10.00 X 20" tires, they all want me to buy, (of coarse), but we have stopped our investigation ----- we have a business plan, a banker, available space, a port of call, a forwarder, contacts for insurance. I'm a 48 year member in good standing with United Association of Plumber and Steamfitters, Local 33 --- Our family -- well go figure --- Charlie Stephenson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be pretty narrow 205-215 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent B3B Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I just got a "budget estimate" from a local big box tire chain last Friday on 8.25 x 20 for my HH. They told me if I wanted radials I'd have to have the centers removed on my rims and put on different rims something to do with the offset. I guess it might be possible, not for me...... they quoted me around $250. each for new Bias tire, flap and tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45WFA31 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Right. I appreciate the response. That's what I'm hearing on this end too. I kinda figured that but I had to ask. It looks old Corky has the vintage tire market cornered. I'll be back in here with a ton of questions about this WFA31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
