Truck Wheels My question was how wide are the "normal" 5 ton wheels for 1100 and 1200 tires used on the cargo, dump and tractor trucks. The bridge trucks we have are 10x20 as marked on the rims made by Firestone with a very deep offset. The 800 series may use different wheels, I don't know...

Bridge Truck I am very poor with the use of a digital camera, but will try to get my son to take some pictures of the completed hub switch & load them into the site. I have never seen a 2½ ton with the hubs turned, but it appears that the 5 ton is just the same, only much bigger and heavier...
