With that information, it is easy to back figure the dimensions at which you need to move everything.

My new Titan 9.00x16 NDT tires measure exactly 10.25 inches in width when mounted and aired up. The outer face of the Budd wheel is inset 1.00 inch from the outer tangent of the tire. So with two mounted tires set side-by-side and touching in the configuration they would be in if dualed, the faces of the two stock Budd wheels are 2.00 inches apart. This means that the center of a wheel would have to be moved 2.00 inches and the tires would just be touching (no loaded bulge accounted for). This would put the center distance between the two tires right at 10.25 inches. That means that the wheel center would have to move almost 1.00 inch further to meet the 11.20 inch center-to-center specification. That is a total of 3.00 inches that one wheel center would have to be moved (less of course if it was split between both wheels.

This would put the distance between the tangents of the two sidewalls right at 1.00 inch. This is assuming you are going to use Titan 9.00x16 tires. Other brands of 9.00x16 tires may be slightly wider or narrower. I have never physically checked those dimensions, but the loaded rolling radius changes quite a bit between different brands of 9.00x16 tires I have owned, so I would expect the same of the width.

I have seen a couple sets of original outer Budd duals factory made for the Power Wagon. Unfortunately, I never took any dimensions off on any of them.
