...for figuring the difference between the rim size of a side-ring wheel and a drop-center rim?
I ask this because I know that a 20" side-ring rim can be replaced almost perfectly with a 22.5" drop-center rim. I have possession of my dad's old 3/4-ton International pickup that has 16" side-ring wheels, and I'd like to replace them with drop-center rims. Problem is, these are the 6-lug-on 7-1/4" bolt circle wheels, so I was considering the idea of looking for a specialty shop--such as Stockton Wheel, for example--that might remove the centers from the wheels and weld them to new outer drop-center rims.
NO, I'm NOT stupid enough to try that at home.
But if I could find a shop that would do that for these hard-to-find bolt-circle wheels, the old truck might be able to live on. Many shops won't touch a side-ring wheel, probably because of the horror stories still being told about the old "widow-maker" split rims; Plus, the idea of running tubeless tires is something I find appealing.
