Uh-oh...

hey lock I've got a subject vehicle and wheels, tires just need some adapters

i think lock is hiding from us

I couldn't remember which one it was and I didn't have any reference material available. I thought the numbers seemed high.

it's ok. i feel like a nerd for correcting you haha

I could swear I read somewhere that every size wheel has a unique bead to avoid mounting the wrong tire. I don't think lock just mills a 1/2 inch off the semis I think it is a little more involved than that.

OK I am going to chime in on the subject...I am not even going to post on the SSM topic due to the mass amount of dumbass kids on that site. Huskerdually is right I dont just mill a 1/2 off the wheel and call it quits it is a little more complicated than that....Also if you could just put the 22 tire on a 22.5 steel like the kid on SSM said then why the hell would we be milling the aluminum wheels?????? Just for the hell of it...I have a sticker that all of the major tire manufactures are putting on their tire application stickers that come on new tires now that I will post a pic of and it tells the whole damn story that these idiots (who are putting 22 tires on a 22.5 steel wheel) cant get through there thick heads....I also have not seen one of these fail first hand in the 22" flavor but we have done it on some 16.5" wheels with a 16" tire (same situation, same aftermath)....

That has to be the most obvious thing ever posted anywhere.

I knew it was something like that. I could have sworn you said you saw a failure once before.

REDEMPTION IS MINE, BILLY!!!

Awww Billy!

Here is the pic I refered to earlier.


And it states:

Mounting a (22"/24") tire on a (22.5"/24.5") rim can cause severe injury or death. While it is possible to pass a (22"/24") diameter tire over the lip or flange of a (22.5"/24.5") size diameter rim, it cannot position itselp properly against the rim flange. If an attempt is made to seat the bead by inflating the tire, the tire bead will break with explosive force.

I think that that is pretty damn clear to what they are trying to say.
