R Cubed Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) Does the all knowing population out there know if the Scout car, M8, M20 and half track front wheels are all the same, ie is there only one type of combat wheel of that size for a tyre size of 9.00 X 20, is that the size of tyre fitted to them ?

abn deuce Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 The White halftrack and Scout car ran 8.25-20's .The M-20 ran 9.00-20's all three used Budd Combat type wheels . perhaps one of the others can fill in the rest . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 There are two tyre sizes as abn said. International halftracks also use 9.00-20. There is however, two different rim offsets. The dome is the same in both cases but is welded into the rim at different heights. It's not much, about an inch but you cannot fit the deeper rim on some vehicles front axles due to it fouling the steering parts. Scout cars can accept either on front or rear and it's not uncommon to find a mixture on vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Cubed Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) Right, so although 8.25 and 9.00 tyres were fitted, are the rim widths actually different, and would anyone know what the widths are ?

Adrian Barrell Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 The rim widths are the same and either can be fitted with 8.25 or 9.00 tyres. Thet are about 6" between the bead flanges and about 8" over the flanges. The deep offset is about 9 7/8" overall height with no tyre and the shallow offset about 9 3/8". All dimensions approx!

R Cubed Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) Very good, thanks for the measurements, so there are only two types then deep and shallow offset, will keep an eye out for one. Thanks Edited August 15, 2009 by R Cubed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Cubed Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) Had a measure up, and from the outside edge of the inner wheel rim to the outer face of the hub seems to be 9 7/8" Edited August 15, 2009 by R Cubed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Yep, that's the deep one. Do you need another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
