    Hey I am trying to figure out what the bolt pattern is for commercial truck wheels. I have 20" wheels on an International S1856 4x4. Its my personal vehicle. The tires are bias ply saw tooth 10.00 X 20 they suck. I want to go to 22.5" wheels so I have better options.
    My wheels have 10 lugs.
    Question is are all the wheel bolt patterns the same???
    What is the bolt pattern for commercial wheels?
    Also I would like to put wide tires on the front axle, like what you see on concrete trucks. Is that possible to do without a hub, knuckle or axle swap.
    I have searched but can't seem to find a definite answer.
    Thanks.

    They are the same pattern. And fairly sure wide based singles will bolt to your steer axle.

    Ten holes on 11.25" circle, iirc, the last modern rims I measured.

    really wider bolt pattern is used on EU trucks ans trucks with hub reduction axles, so IMO, 22.5 would fit well.

    Awesome info guys. Thank you. The whole reason for this is I don't trust bias ply farm tractor type tires for my steer axle at any speeds above 40mph.
    My tires are 41.50 inches in diameter when inflated to 85 psi. I hope to find something within an inch of this diameter in the 22.5" wheel size. The ideal situation would allow me to switch between a set of 295/75R22.5 decent hiway tires. This size is about 39.75" - 40.25" in diameter. The only issue with this is I'd like to purchase a taller tire to bring down the rpms at hi way speeds. Something like this tire: http://simpletire.com/doublestar-295-75r22.5-dsr87610-tires

    And then a set of 10.00/-20WF very aggressive off road tires. I'm looking at these tires for off road use: http://simpletire.com/jetzon-10.0020wf-nj65-tires
    This setup would allow me to tie the Jeep down on the flatbed and pull the 14' camper to an offroad park, setup everything then swap the offroad wheels and tires on then go wheeling in the Jeep and the International.

    Ricksontire and wheel sells 17.5s 19.5s and I believe 22.5s they have the tires available for purchase as well 8 bolt and 10 bolt wheels direct replacement if I recall correctly no hub adapters needed that will really be your only other option if you can't find something that will bolt on. But hub adapters are expensive and rather dangerous seen them come off many times on a pickup and they're about $250/piece

    I thought you meant tightening pattern. So I'll post what I do for 10 lug wheel.

    Every move to next lug nut is either 180° direct across or clockwise skipping two to the third.

    So start at top next is straight down across the middle 180° to the bottom lug, then clockwise skip two, get the next one then straight across 180°, then clockwise skip two, get the third. Keep alternating moves like that and you'll end up back at the top.

    If lugs were numbered like a clock except 10 instead of 12, with #1 being in the 12 o'clock spot, it would go like this: 1-6-9-4-7-2-5-10-3-8 and back to 1.
