Looking at a 73 c50 with the elusive 20" wheels. I've been reading that semi truck wheels will bolt up? Which are the best to go with? This will be a work truck, nothing fancy. Thanks
 
Wow. Figured they’d all be the same. I sent him a message. Don’t know if you can tell anything from a pic or not

Best youre gona find for those is 19.5 or buy brand new 22.5 from a truck tire dealer.

Get a pattern measurement and start calling mdt and motor home scrapers
 
Those might be "widow makers" RH5 split rim. Not split ring aka ring lock.

About the only way to go to 22.5s is new custom wheels or adapters.

The wheels, last I priced them several years ago, were going to be around 2k.

If they are split ring, can just put new 20" tires. Any decent tire shop that works on equipment tires should be able to handle that. The ring locks are still used nowadays.
