6 lug to 10 lug

[sermis]

Are there any 10 lug hubs that will work on the 2.5 ton rockwells. I know there are adapters but at $350.00 and up for a pair, ouch.

Are you looking to run 22.5 tires, or just wanting to run nice, shiny, aluminum Alcoa wheels on your deuce?

 

[sermis]

No, I get 5 ton combat wheels from time to time and really want to run the tires tubless. I made wider rims from stock but after mounting the tire, tube, and flap they will not balance. Would be really simple to mount tubless beadlocks and go.

my dad and i have been trying to figure out a way to run a 10 lug on our deuce so we could put 22.5 tubeless on it. we havent had such luck. thanks Sermis for posting something on here, everytime i was going to i forgot.

why dont you just have a new center welded into the rim that you want to use. as long as its a pressed center you dont have to worry about any bending that could happen with a flat steel center.

Main reason $$$$$$

Shouldn't cost much. you can get wheel centers for $60 ea. for that size of rim. and a shop ususally doesnt charge much to weld them in.
or you can make a simple jig and weld them in yourself.

I have a 6 lug wheel in 22.5" that I assume will fit a deuce. I will have to check but I have always assumed you can buy these rims new and it seems like I prices some a few years ago. I'll have to try to put this rim on my truck and report back.

With the other wheel and tire subjects, this would be very interesting. semi-truck 22.5's would be great for the highway deuce.

The 6-lug 22.5" Budd wheels have been successfully used by others.

I run the 6 lug 22.5's in the rear, and I made my own front rims out of plate centers welded into Dayton shells, to compensate for the wide rears.
