Thank you so much for this help. The tire size would have been my next question. So the 9R22.5 will be the same height about as what's on there? The old guy that put all the new wheel cylinders on it said that they are the suicide rims that could kill you if you're not careful. He would change them, but he's 78 years old and about 75lbs soaking wet, he said those days are long gone. [Reply]  [No Email]

Tubeless wheel designs are much different than tube type wheel designs. Tubeless designs are always in half sizes (17.5, 19.5, 22.5) and will in truck applications always have what's called a 15° rim lip profile and a drop center. The tube type rims have what's called a 5° rim lip and will have either a flat center or a semi-drop center profile. I'm gonna try to link in my Photobucket page that shows a side by side diagram of the two. If it doesn't work, you can probably find it in the Accuride catalog. The reason the 20" tube type and 22.5" tubeless have the same outside tire diameter is the different lip profile and drop center. Stu Wheel Profile Comparison   [Reply]  [No Email]
