Possible to convert 17.5 over to 22.5

You’d have to change the brake spiders, move the camshaft, and move the brake chambers to go with the bigger brakes. It’s not a small job.

I guess theoretically you could get some custom wheels that are 22.5 but have the 17.5 bolt pattern, they may even make such a wheel, but I’ve never seen them.

 

They make a 22.5X8.25 with an 8 lug bolt pattern, I'm not sure it the bolt circle is the same.

 

Looks like they are the same. 8 hole, 275mm bolt circle 221 mm bore.

 

Height is much more dictated by deck beam height and road clearance, I just speced a Talbert with a 18 inch deck height with 275 rubber.

 

I have a Talbert HT 35 with 22.5, the deck height is 40 inches vs 36" with the 17.5, it came from the factory with the 22.5's.

 

Your deck height is 40"? Step deck aren't that tall.

 

Prolly rear deck.

 

Probably

 

Yeah it kinda surprised me too when i called the dealer before i purchased it, i noticed in the ad that it had 22.5 wheels and asked them about the height knowing most have 17.5 that are advertised as having a 36" deck.
