Kelboy Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Hi guys, I have a 1974 Loadstar 1800 that I want to change the rims on, it has 10.00-20 split rims on it now but I came across some 11R 24.5 rims awhile ago thinking they may works so I bought them, now looking at them I'm not sure, do I have to change out the hub on the truck also because it looks too small for the new rims?

Yes. You should have bought 22.5’s Those are a direct bolt-on. Check some scrap yards because they remove all the tires before they process a truck or school bus. You can get some dang nice tires and rims already assembled for 50$ each . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt_Floor_Poor Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 If your pilot and bolt circle are not right on the wheels you bought, I don’t think changing hubs is the answer. You need different wheels. Unless you already have free parts available to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelboy Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Sorry I made a mistake, they are actually 22.5 not 24.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWF Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 22.5 will mount right on. You will need 11.5X22.5 to match the diameter of 10:00X20 and 10.5X22.5 to match 9:00X20. You should not run the 22.5 on the same hub with a 20 wheel. DWF" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binderdan Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I am in the same boat. I bought a Loadstar 1850 with 10 lug 20" lock ring wheels and 9.00-20 tires. As I understand 22.5 budd wheels will bolt right on as long as they center on the lugs rather than the hub, and 10R22.5 is a very similar size tire. Kelboy what you have there are Dayton wheels. It is my understanding they make a 22.5 wheel that will fit on the same hub the 20" wheels came off of from what I have read. But I have no first hand experience with the Daytons. Truck salvage yard in Colorado told me $60 each for used steel 22.5 budd wheels for my Loadstar. Not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
