I just bought a replacement 22.5 rim for
our 82 at Cower Tire here in Fort
Worth. It was $300 plus $25 to remount and balance
the tire.

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

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.
