Hello All,

Since posting the first message of the day at 23:18, I visited the Stovebolt Chevrolet forum. Back in a thread posted in 2005 they mention how the 7.50 x 20 tyres were getting hard to find and too expensive.

Subsequently, they swapped over to using more readily available and cheaper 8.25 x 20 tyres for the rims that were originally fitted with the 34 x 7 AKA in 1951 as the 7.00 x 20 tyres.

I checked in Australia - where I am from and the 8.25/R20 tyres are much more readily available and are quite reasonably priced.

Has anyone else fitted the 8.25 x 20 on your original Chevrolet truck rims? How successful was the swap over?


Kind regards
Lionel
