I have some spare 900 20s on rims in OR but I have no idea where you are at .

I seriously doubt that you have split rims, I would imagine you have rims with a lock ring on them which is a completely different deal and the best thing that was ever made, since you can do the whole thing without a tire machine and just put the lock ring on and air them up .

Only time people have a problem or die, is when the lock ring is not installed correctly, it's not rocket surgery, but common sense and caution go a long ways towards not getting a Darwin award .

Thanks to all for the advice and help. Perhaps these are not actual "split rims"? But that's what fols around here call these. Or at least what they look like? It is a rim with a removable rim on one side? I will get a photo and add to this . Thanks again.

Its a rim with a removable "ring" on one side, when the tire is aired down and the ring is removed, it allows you to slide the entire tube/tire assembly from the rim .

The only rims you even have to remove from the truck to do this are the outer rears, the fronts and inner rears can be done right on the truck still bolted on .

I like watching a pro at work. I got a tire guy to do my backhoe. All 4 tires done and never removed a wheel. Awesome

Absolutely! A good tire man is really good with his tools... A few thumps with a hammer, grab a pair of spoons and "poof" off comes the front bead, then the back if its required. Then he goes back the other way.
