P30 Wheel help please

[mrf1002u]

I have a chance to get 6 of these wheels on Monday. From the pics, do they look like the right P30 wheels?

I know they are 19.5's
8 on 6.5
6 wide

The backspace is my main concern. Had the seller measure and if he is doing it right the backspace seems to be around 8.5" maybe a hair more.(back of the WMS)

Thanks

P.S. 4.5 center holes.

most all of these bud style wheels will work on later model trucks. I have put 90's gm bud wheels on 50's & 60's model trucks. These would be nice but tires are expensive for them. Also a lot of the 19.5's are 10 lug. I would buy them if it's a good deal.

I'm trying, but did you ever get one of those people that put something up for sale and it seems like they don't really want to, even if you DON"T haggle?

P.S. Want to use these on a 53 3800 dually.

How much is he selling them for? Those are hard to find rims lol Buy them even if you don't need them, if they are cheap. They'll be perfect for the '53. I had a set I got for $100 a few years ago, then sold them. Then I needed them of course and they are very hard to find.

These are plenty cheap. I'll have them if the guy doesn't flake.

Well...........just as it always happens to me.......the guy flaked out on me. Probably had someone else offer him more, even though I didn't haggle over the asking price over the phone. Even had the pickup scheduled.

It was six wheels for $150.00 !!!!! $$%^&&*&&%$!!!!!!

Hey, send me $6k and I'll send you 6 of those wheels, with good tires.
Only deal is, you gotta take the motor home too.

LOL.

Thanks

man, that sounds like a great dea. / I heate to hear he flaked on you. As stated by others, those wheels are hard to find in an 8lug. I have two other trucks I have been looking for a set for. Almost given up hope of finding a complete set.

Forgot to mention there's a spare that's never seen pavement since the thing was new in '88, so that's a total of 7 rims.

Ok, Just for clarification. Are the P30 bread truck wheels any different than the p30 (p32) motorhome chassis wheels that are the 19.5, 8 on 6.5 circle?

these should be the same wheel bolt pattern and will work on most older hubs.

Thanks. I see motorhome wheels with tires sometimes and wondered. I know they usually have metric tires, but that's just gonna make the tires profile a little different than an 8R19 right? Not sure that really matters to me.
