N.O.S. Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Are you sure they are not 36 x 8? This would make them 8.00 ish x 20 (36 is O.D., 8 is tyre section height so 36 minus twice 8 gives rim size). I would have thought a good modern equivalent would be 8.50 x 20? Another example - GMC were 7 x 34 but equivalent new designation is 7.50 x 20 Edited August 3, 2011 by N.O.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
