49dumper Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Hey folks. New to this group. Just bought a 49 pilot house 2 ton dump truck. I'm looking at options for tires/rims. It currently has stock rims with 8.25-20 tires. I'm looking to go more modern with radials and maybe r22.5 semi wheels. I can't seem to find any adapters available to go from the stock 5 bolt to 8 or 10 bolt. Does anyone here have any experience with this type of swap? Thanks in advance.

Radarsonwheels Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 I have ordered custom billet adapters before can’t remember the maker’s name but they were reasonably priced. It was a small shop run by an ex drag racer iirc. Mail order maybe phone or web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

49dumper Posted June 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 So you are still running tubes with the radials? What brand of radials are you using? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
