My 89 F-800 Boom truck has 10 R20 bias ply's on widow maker steel split rims on it. Now that IM a few bucks ahead I want rid of these things ASAP.
I would LOVE to switch to a moderately sized floatation type tire on the front. Being a boom truck there's a fair amount of weight up front for a MDT. 11,220Lbs. Rear axle weighs in at 17,600Lbs.
What's the comparable radial tire size on a 22.5" rim to the trucks current 10x20s?
Also do the f-800's use a funky bolt pattern on the wheels. these are budd type wheels. Also will I have to change studs in the rear if IM just going to mount an outer alloy steel inner combo?
Lastly any one know a place on the West coast that is dealing on wheels and tires in the size I need. I would prefer polished over machine finished but if the price is right.
