Any suggestions on wheels for 75 c-30

I have a 75 c-30 dumper, and had a flat on the front this morning....Tire shop won't do any type of repair because it's a split style rim... what can i replace them with, any suggestions on where to purchase used, or any compatable solid 8 - lug?

I would look at the late model alloy wheels. They look good and can be had at a fair price.

Re: Any suggestions on wheels for 75 c-30

I'm running steel 19.5" on my truck (all six). They're basically the inners for the Ford low-boy chassis (that don't run the 10 bolts). Seem to be pretty easy to come by.

I'm personally pretty partial to the old phone dial Alcoas though. Good luck.

Re: Any suggestions on wheels for 75 c-30

Since you said it has a dump bed I'm assuming that this is a working truck, and that looks may not matter? If that is the case then I'd head to a junkyard and look for a set of one-piece rims.

Go to a tire shop that works on farm/industrial/commercial trucks and they should be ok with you split rims ...our new forklifts still have split rims....
other than that the rims should interchange up to 87
