20" wheel conversion?

[tanglewood7x]

Hi all,

My coachahome is a 1961 Ford Thames Trader based Duple Yeoman. It runs along on 9x20 tyres that are difficult to get cheaply - and I really need a set of 7 as the ones on it are very badly cracked from standing (see my post under tyres!).

So I've started wondering if I could fit any later wheels and tyres to get the easily obtained 22.5 rimsize? The problem I have is that all the more modern lorries sport 10-stud rims, but mine are 8.

Any ideas?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to do this as cheaply as possible to keep me on the road.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all

My search has ended - as I've just been lucky enough to get some excellent wheels and tyres locally and VERY cheap too.

FYI - I've been told that all 8-stud wheels are pretty much interchangable. That might be useful to somebody?
