11R24.5 and 12R22.5 on Budd wheels 11.25 (measurement of the opposing lug studs) with I forget what size center hole will allow anyone to convert to a readily availible commercial wheel and tire off the shelf at any truck shop. The shops around my area run away from the NDTs with the 20" military split rims. Thus I scour junkyards for the 22.5 or 24.5 rims to convert my 816 to one or the other. currently I run a pair of 12R22.5 on budd wheels up front and 8 NDTs 11R20s in the rear. Rides ok, but I would rather have the one peice wheels for the convienance of readily availible replacements as this is a commercially used recovery truck.
