I am learning about wheels. The wheels are 20 x 6.5. Stu, good information, it looks like I don’t have Budd rims. The problem rim is stamped Firestone, 3-73; 20 x 6.5 CR; 27122; 3 16731. The ring is stamped 5 – Firestone; 20x7.0-7.5-8.0; 5-7-73 USA. The picture above is of the rim. The picture in the next post is of the split ring and rim.
The rim that went together okay is a Goodyear rim. The rear duals, still on the truck appear to be Goodyear rims also. However one of the inside duals doesn’t appear to have a split ring. I am wondering if it is a split rim, which is bad news from what I read.
It looks like I need to get two Goodyear rims and matching split rings incase the rear inner dual is a split rim. Thoughts?
