Wheels and Tires

[bubblerboy64]

I am hot to dress up my 73 FC with Alcoa wheels. I have been working
under the false assumption that this bus had the original wheels on
it. Turns out the previous owner had replaced the axles with newer
ones from a 1978 FC wheels as well. The point here is the bus does
not have the "odd" sized tires which would have been original to the
bus. I was thinking that to get new Alcoa wheels I would have to
replace the tires as well. Turns out I may not and that is my
question. The front tires read 295/75R 22.5 which is a industry
standard? The back tires read Dunlap SP 9.00R 20. Can I buy Alcoa's
and keep my tires? Oh the wheels are ten bolt wheels. Anyone have a
source for them? I don't want to spend all the money for wheels and
tires but if I can keep my tires and maybe find used Alcoa's I should
be able to swing it.
