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.

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

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.

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.
