Newbie Questions - nstriglia - 09-09-2010 00:19 Hello I am looking at purchasing a 1975 FC-31 Wanderlodge and I have a questions I hope someone can answer. It has 9.00x20R tires and I have searched the internet to find out how much it would cost to put tires on but cant find any information on that size tire. I Have not yet seen the coach other than pictures so I'm not sure if the owner is giving me the correct tire size. Thanks in advance Nick Newbie Questions - Marc Woodward - 09-09-2010 01:11
Newbie Questions - nstriglia - 09-09-2010 04:42 Marc Thanks for the response to my question. I'm sure that going to the 22.5 would be the best thing to do, where would I get the rims? Are they a standard bolt pattern? I have a Dodge Travco currently with the 7.50R x 17 with the split ring those tires are available but pricey The one I'm looking at is gas. Thanks Nick --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Marc Woodward > > Hello and welcome! > > Yup, those are the right size. I have a 1974 and it has that size... Tube tires. The '75 you are looking at must still have the old split rim wheels like mine. I bought my Wanderlodge with the tires already replaced, so they can obviously be found somewhere. I can do some checking myself if you would like. The other option (and this is what I would probably do) would be to get some modern 22.5" non-split rim wheels. There are millions of those tires out there. I think the reason that they used the same size on mine is that the 9x20 tires are cheaper. > > Is the '75 you are looking at gas or diesel? > > Good luck > Marc > Newbie Questions - Chuck Wheeler - 09-09-2010 05:57 I just bought a replacement 22.5 rim for - Chuck 1982 FC 31SB From: Marc Thanks for the response to my question.

I upgraded it to 22.5 Alcoas and 11X22.5 Toyo tires... You might check E-Bay for Alcoas. You probably need the Budd Stud piloted type. OR, you could buy my Bird, which is all fixed up.. :-)..
