Howdy,

 

I am looking to replace the original split ring 20" wheels on my truck since finding new 8.25x20 tires is virtually impossible the past few years.  I measured my wheels and it seems that they are 5 on 8.25" and they seem to be 5.5" in width.  Would anyone be able to confirm that this is accurate on my 2 ton truck?

 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Warm regards,

Roman

Its been awhile since I had my rims, as I scrapped the front and rear axle on my 1.5 ton but 5x8.25 sounds correct.  Coker tire makes some older looking, new stock tires that may be available.  .  there are several on the forum with larger trucks that should be able to confirm the bolt pattern and tire availability.  I am unaware of any off the shelf wheel options, I believe most have had to have custom wheels made but could be wrong.  sadly the pilothouse knowledge site is no longer available but looking at the body builders layout I have for the F, FA, H and HA, tire sizes were 6.00/20, 6.50/20, 7.00/20 and 7.50/20 all on a 20x5 or 20x6 rim.  I know those are older tire sizes but appears Coker still offers some of them.
