The low-profile 275 24.5 is the same diameter as an 11Rx22.5 or a
10.00x20.

Now $710 and 25 hours to go. But the reason I'm writing is that I think the
specification of 11x24.5 is wrong. It is likely that these are 8.25x24.5
wheels on which the owner ran 11x24.5 tires.

I've been lookin' for a while and I have a lead which might work out.
Quick question. My ole 73 has the axles off a 1984 I believe. I am
assuming that the wheels will fit. The alcoa's are off a BB bus.
Before I get into this too deep would the wheels on the pushers be the
same as the FC's? I know I have not provided much information but if
the wheels on the pushers don't fit the FC's then my hunt continues. My
bus has 22.5 inch steel wheels. Ten bolt stud piloted but beyond that I
will have to reseach. Thanks in advance.

I do not know if this will help.
When I changed my valve stems I found that pre-1995 22.5" Alcoa's have a two inch round hand hole. Later models have two and one half inch handhole. It is a ten lug set up. Classifications were for motor homes and buses-diesel so one might conclude they are the same for those years. Perhaps someone else may have more info.

Well, Just a little more information, The wheels are off a pusher
mid eighties. They are stud piloted and 22.5 inches which is what I
need but beyond that the fellow parting out the bus doesn't know. So
any information would be appreciated. I tried call BB and to this
point have only been able to talk to an answering machine. I'd like
be able to tell the fellow ASAP that I will take them so they don't
get gone.

Call this company. They make specialty valve stems for dual wheels, steel and Alcoa. He was very helpful. Plus, I like his product.

The only concern is the width. 83s came with 7.5s, ya want 8.25" wide. 10 bolt stud pilot is older, careful you don't get sold some hub pilot. Ya gotta watch the bead seat area, it can get worn out, sharp edge that can cut into the tire bead.
