How to measure plow wheel

[243ackley]

I have a Forrest city do all that needs some new rims. The rims that are on the plow now are 12 lug 15 inch but the axles only have 6 lugs on them.

I have been running 235/75 r15 tires for years.

How do I measure this wheel? Can I just measure it using the 6 lugs used.

Thanks

What are you trying to measure? If it's the diameter of the bolt pattern, 6 should be fine. Implement wheels are usually standardized i.e. a 6 hole rim off of a JD implement will fit a 6 hole hub on IH, Case, Oliver, etc.

I am trying to measure the old wheel so I order the proper new wheel. I have never done this before and the wheel has 12 holes but only uses 6 on the plow.

Are the 6 unused holes the same as the used ones with the taper for the lug nut, or are they just through holes. I recall some implement rims having through holes in them so that you could mount duals on them if the hubs were threaded for them and you had a spacer. What feature are you trying to measure? Offset? Bolt pattern diameter?

I got it figured out. It is a 6-6 lug pattern but the old wheel has 12 holes. The new wheels I bought just have 6. These wheels are not made to run duals.
