International Truck owner- A wheel question

Posted by Bob J on June 06, 2005 at 21:48:40 from (68.23.18.161):

I have a 1951 F-4 Ford truck and I am looking for alternative rims for it. These trucks came with what were called "Widow maker" split rims. No one wants to touch these rims because of the danger of them blowing apart. Fortunately, I have the optional one piece tubeless rims. Unfortunately, the rims I have are 22 1/2 and are hard to find tire for, the "Widow Makers" had the easier to find 20" tires. My question to you International owners is, do any of you have solid, one piece 19" or 20" rims on your truck with a five hole bolt pattern. A while back my neighbor had a mid seventies to mid eighties International truck, maybe two or three ton truck, that had one piece wheels with a five hole bolt pattern. I took a quick measurement but didn't accurately record the measurement and he got rid of the truck. If you have a truck like this could you take a measurement from one lug bolt to the second one over and post your measurement here?

Thanks,

Bob
