Tire size difference help

Rim size is inside diameter of the tire - 22.5 vs 24.5 the rest is basically width and thickness and height of rubber of side wall and casing. 22.5 is two sizes smaller than a 24.5, so putting on 24.5 proablywon't help

 

315/80R22.5 is roughly an inch wider than the 12R22.5, and requires a 9.00" or 9.75" wide rim. If they are using that, I'm guessing you've got a 9.00" rim, but the 12R22.5 tire can also be mounted on an 8.25" rim. The 11R24.5 is going to be an inch taller, but the same width as your 12R22.5. You gain quite a bit of load rating switching to the 315/80R22.5, and lose a hair switching to the 11R24.5.

If you're rubbing tires on any hard parts, that's a problem (and will put you OOS). If it only happens when you turn really sharp, adjust the limiting bolts on the steering to keep the tires from rubbing.

 

Maybe I’m wrong here but last I knew 22.5 & 24.5 rim sizes are different and not interchangeable

 

The lug bolt pattern is the same. As long as you buy the right rims (hub piloted vs stud piloted) they are interchangeable.

 

Are stud piloted also called budd wheels

 

Bolt pattern same yes but you can’t put a 24.5 Tire on a 22.5 rim and vise versa. I thought someone on here was saying you could. Maybe I need to re-read post

 

No. Stud pilot means rim is centered on studs, hub pilot is center on hub. Stud pilot is kinda like using Tru-Balance centering sleeves

 

Would be there any difference on tire size of flatbed trailer?
I have 285/75/22.5 that came with it and about to install new set 295/75/22.5 (same as on the truck).
