tyrant Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 In the market for a set of drivers that are the odd size, 11 x 24 .If I can't find the tires, how hard is it to change out the rim size on a open face or Dayton style drive wheel ??The truck is a 1980 RD686sx and she runs good enough to get a new set of shoes.Not in a big hurry and really don't want to spend a couple grand on tires.Thanks in advance,Norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best bet is to switch to 12.00R24 or you may be able to find Chinese 11-24 tires, they make some odd and old size tires.Changing the hubs is more trouble than its worth unless you really want to mount other tires. you could go down to 22 inch hubs and mount 11r24.5 tires, those parts should not be hard to find. but the labor is going to cost you unless you want to do it yourself which may or may not be practical (if a wheel comes off and the lawyers ask you where you got the wheels fixed, your in for a world of butt hurt).Oh, and can I please have my stapler?
