Yeah they are going to be split rims. Isuzu NPR’s from Japan sometimes have the same bolt pattern. A 225 70 19.5 might work on those wheels
The duck bills all these use are basic Coats tire machine parts, so even Napa can get them I think

Mac guy comes not quite once per month to my shop. He doesn’t offer anything to anyone. Checks in on one guy and heads out.
Sears had the ability to change with the times and do internet sales but refused. Ultimately killed the giant that they were very quickly Now...
00 cables from Batterycables USA. 1951 Plymouth 6v + ground with an alternator. Cranks like it has 12v going to it.
I’m not real sure where to get plastilube locally. The way I have some is through work, and I get packets of it in some stuff but I use jars of...
I don’t all the time either, especially on my own stuff. But this is basically hung on a hinge, and it has a cup with felt to hold a grease behind...
I actually have some plastilube
Sorry for putting it in the wrong spot. Didn’t think to put it in the main forum being the car itself is an unmodified original.. I still do some...
