Re: Old fire truck
Measure the spokes on your bus and your L/S, measure from where they start to taper up at the inboard end to the end of the spoke where the stud is, and compare.
Post the tire mfg web spec's please! or the mfg and tire size.
The diff has almost nothing to do with it, it is the frame springs and hub will determine what will fit.
Post the width of the spacer band on the bus and on the L/S.
DO NOT think you can interchange spacer bands between different hubs, Wedges and bands are determined by the hub and can not be interchanged.
The wider the rim, the more the offset change, so the closer it will be to the inside frame/springs.
Rims over 7.5" for 20" rim or 8.25" for 22.5" rims require special wedges to prevent breaking of the studs. The cast spoke must have the clearance for the longer wedges. (on the front hubs).
Pictures need to be under about 500KB to post.
