GM used these wheels also, between the early 60's to mid seventies. It is a wheel with a steel center riveted to one half of the rim, with the rim parting in the middle to disassemble the tire and tube. They were outlawed by the DOT in the early nineties. They are not legal on the highway! They can blow apart while driving down the highway, causing series injury or death to someone in a vehicle beside you, not to mention how hard it would be to maintain control. We have 13 of these vehicles and have replaced all the wheels with a Budd, tubeless rim. We use a 9:00 X 22.5 tire which is the same rolling diameter as an 8.25 X 20.. If you have a tire shop which does a lot of truck work, they should be able to help you with tires and wheels. Hope you have a high limit on the ole credit card. >-:
