14" how would you describe your upper torso size in regards to general clothes sizes? Do you have ape arms, do you have a weirdly long torso etc?

Djdanno, I didn't want a jeep to burn to the ground in my front yard either, so I did it in the back yard. (That sucked.) If it has 4.10s, a direct 4th, and the 7.50-20 tires (35") it should do around 70mph at 2700-2800rpm. I would keep it well below that though... depending on the condition of the wheel bearings.

I would keep it well below that, wheel bearings or no, those tires are dry-rotted to poo poo from 40 years sitting in a field and the first time you try to travel at a speed above about 45-50 you're likely to start losing bits off your tires.

Tires even 10 or 15 years old are so dried up they have no traction and even less wet traction. I ran the ones that came with my Justy to get home, I could do a rolling burnout through middle of second gear with loving 73hp. And both front tires split so many belts they almost blew out within 2200 miles or so. Fortunately they are getting replaced before the trip, but he has had difficulty finding 7.50-20 rubber new and all the 20" 35s are like a foot wide, which is too wide for those wheels and that suspension. I could find 7.50-16s on tirerack when I looked but nothing in 20".

I just found brand new 7.00-20s (not 7.50, so you will lose some top speed probably) at a tire shop SOMEWHERE in nebraska! http://www.nebraskatire.com/truck/car (top left corner of page) E: I think he was looking for them local not internet order. Oh well, probably have to. Also a lot of the google results are 7.50-15s or -16s not -20s.

Well, we had been looking local, since nobody really wanted to gently caress with the split rims situation, and Dan had found a shop willing to do them and had the correct tires for $texas of course. But after looking again I found this deal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-Tires-7-5...ydVjGFB&vxp=mtr Which looks pretty solid. With the way the universe has been treating 14" I'm not sure loving with some rusty rear end rims is in his best interests though.

If the load rating allows, you could always run only 4 tires on the way home and deal with the other two later, unless those are the tires you intend to keep on it.

I don't really intend on keeping those wheels forever, as I would like to upgrade the transmission and rear end at some point, and would like to get away from split rims in general. But I'll probably just go for all six. At least that way I might be able to sell them all as a set.

Im assuming theres nothing more modern in terms of rims that fits that bolt pattern? Our Hino and Isuzu trucks here in AU still run 11R22.5 on a 7.5 x 22.5 rim. What IS the max GVM of that truck? Cos if you can find a bolt pattern that fits and a 16" rim that clears the brakes LT315/75R16 tyres are rated to 3858lb each. Maybe super singles?

Already considered that... not a chance of a 16 or 16.5 wheel fitting in my estimation, 19.5 (maybe), 20, or 22.5. The lug pattern I don't remember, but it has been discussed in this thread.

Well, you could always have the wheel discs cut out and welded to new one-piece rims. Won't be supercheap but it's not uncommon since it's done for the rear wheels on tractors all the time. A good shop shouldn't have problems with centering or rebalancing when doing it. Like, I'd be surprised if Danno doesn't have a few old tractor rims sans the discs laying around. We use them for firepits here. Fermented Tinal fucked around with this message at 02:22 on Nov 13, 2016 |

Another source is Coker Tire here in Chattanooga. They specialize in classic and antique tires, so they'll have whatever you need. There's a whole page of 7.50x20 bias plies here.
