24.5" Stud Piloted Aluminum Rim Needed

Scott & Heather · January 18, 2016, 01:57:24 PM

Hi Guys,

Any of you have two (2) 24.5"Stud Piloted Aluminum Round Hole rims you want to sell me? I just need two to round out the shoes on my 102C3 this summer.

Hum you don't see many 24.5 on the MCI C

I know. Makes her unique

and I swear she handles a little better

Ney it's the 8v92 not the wheels

Scott & Heather · January 19, 2016, 05:55:57 AM

Hahah! I'm bound and determined for my 8v92 to reach the magical 500hp mark but I need a dyno for a bus. Lol. Radiators are rebuilt, blower box/gear/fans rebuilt and will add misters and another third radiator somewhere if need be to keep her cool, but I want 500hp.

You might trying Youngstown Kenworth in Ohio. They typically have a large supply of new Alcoa wheels at reasonable prices. 800 321 2056

Scott you are with HUGGY and me we run 24.5 rims so we can get the tallest tire available.

They are needed because of the gearing on a gm and the v730.

makes a big difference between 22.5 low profiles and 24.5 tall tires.

There is hardly any difference between a 12R x22.5 and the 11x 24.5 tires in height, the 12R are wider and the 12Rx22.5 carries more weight and cost a lot more believe it or not tires are sold by the pound

Thanks Steven. I'll give them a try.

I bought the coach from it's previous owner with 4 24.5" alcoas so instead of buying an entirely new set, I'm just needing two more to round it out. Looks pretty neat too in my opinion. Gearing isn't an issue on my 102...but I do like the look of the lower profile tire and larger rim combo.

you want alcoa's for the inside duals ?.... are the studs long enuff ?

Scott & Heather · January 20, 2016, 11:16:15 PM

I really don't have any desire to have Alcoas for the inner duals...so I'm throwing in a liner to prevent any galvanic corrosion between the dissimilar metals and calling it a day.

I wanted the new super duals for the back of HUGGY but could not find one tall enough and a stud centered rim was non existent.

Think it would have looked cool though.

Uncle Ned, trust me I've considered it

They are nice but the big down side to the Super singles are that if you have a blow out, there is no companion tire to limp along on. When it blows, you are waiting on the side of the road. Otherwise I would have done our whole fleet.

That applies only to the duels though. Super singles upfront wouldn't matter
