220cummins Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 If your truck has Daytons with 11r24.5 tires on it means that you have 22" hubs (Dayton) spokes. To go up in tire/rim size to 1200-24" you would have to find the right hubs for the wheel bearings and change those to 24" and change the tire/rims.

LINKBELT Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 You said to go up ,to me i`m trying to go down .5 from 24.5 to 24 was told i can put 12r24.5 on my rims,still leaves me at 7800 lbs. per tire. where as 1200-24 are rated 9300 lbs.per tire .

j hancock Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 220 is telling you the right deal.24.5" tubeless one piece wheel is on a 22" spoke so you need to buy new 24" spokes for running 24" tube type multi piece rims, tubes, flaps, etc. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

LINKBELT Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 thanks guys, i reckon maybe i`ll just go to the 12r24.5!s ... What to go to the 22.5`s, tire sizes ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 What 220 Cummins and Jim Hancock said is correct. I would go with the 12;24.5 tires as 12:00 24 tube type are very expensive,hard to find,heavy to work with and I do not think they will take the heat as well as the 12:24.5 tubeless. I ran them for years on a heavy tandem dump in New Jersey Landfills. They are great for heavy work around towns and off road but not sustained highway speeds. Is your truck dayton or Budd-hub-piloted wheels. If Budd or hub-piloted just get new rims 9" or larger depending on what tire you want to run.

Brocky Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 What about going to the 24.5 floats in either 385 or 415?? Will they carry the weight this man wants??? Then all he would have to do is buy new rims and tires and bolt them on..20 inch tube type= 22.5 tubeless22 inch tube type= 24.5 tubelessGoing to 22.5 would mean changing the spokes the same as Jim Hancock said about 12:00-24 tube type.

Joe Ditchkus Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Brocky they do not make floats in 24.5 (22") tires. Only 20". Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe D.Dayton wheels,t ruck rated at 83000 with proper tires,don`t know why in the world it wound up with 11r24.5~s on it.I` reckon i`ll tag at lower gross weight and go with the 12r24.5`s around city, tandem grapple truck for tree serv.
