Re: not sure where to put this.... but exciting Dayton wheel find

this all came about with the advent of radial truck tires... Just leave the lug nuts on at least all the threads whilst you loosen the wedges or severe bodily harm could be done...

I just swapped the 9.00 20 Bias tube types on split rims for a set of 11R22.5's that I had on my old Looserville 9000 donor truck... two reasons, first I had them laying around and second they were much bigger in diameter to offset the 7.20:1 axles and the loss of 2500 engine RPM when switching from the 350 Chevy to the Detroit... as the need to use the overdrive roadranger (which can be modded into a homebrew double overdrive) and the Rockwell transfer case which is 0.75 OD in high range...
