24" ten hole lorry rims

[Engine John]

I am after a pair of rims similar to those in the picture with two cut outs. I have seen them on vintage commercials and some that have been used on living vans as wheels. If anyone knows of a set for sale please get in touch. If they come with tyres even better!

What width John?

Are you after 40x8 or 36x6 rims?

[Lord B of Crafton]

Yes! let us know as i have some of the narrower rims. Be careful to make sure they are 13 5/8 PCD not the 12 3/4 i think it is that Scammell use.

Might have some ok 24" tyres, good enough for a trailer if thats what you are doing.

I think they may be too narrow but my wheel knowledge is a bit poor. They need to take a 14 wide tyre. I want to fit them as rear road wheels to my Lanz. I can buy repro but they look rubbish and are daft money because I have to ship them from Holland.

for the rears John?

Why not get whatever you can width wise, and get basil to widen the rims to suit the tyres you want.

Last time I had a poke about the fordson bits at W6cloggs place, he had some 36x6 rims for a Fordson Industrial knocking about. They were fitted with twin rears each side.

It is for the rears. I just spoke to a friend and he said that the correct size is 24" dia x 10.5" wide. Like you say I think getting them widened sounds a good plan. Shame we can't cast the wheel addapters too - €900!

John,

When I worked on the railways, I recall looking at number of the road rain machines as they had 24 rims. I think it was the road rail dumpers and concrete mixers. I had a measure to see if they would fit a Sentinel (this being pre new yankee 40x8's), they were far too tall and wide. I seem to remember they were either 10inch or 11 inch wide.

Have you a source of tyres?

[Engine John]

Tyres I can get. They are expensive but I have a source. The wheels are the hardest thing. Like I say replica wheels are available but they are welded on the outside when fabricated and it shows. To make it look right you either want rivited as per the originals or just welded on the inside.

Thanks for your help on this.
