Wheels? general question
Most of the buses I've looked at are spec'ed with 11R22.5 wheels. My question is, are all 6 of the wheels on the same rim? Asked differently, is carrying one spare sufficient to swap out any wheel?
Also, separate but related topic: Doing wheel research, there seems to be 2 different rim systems, one being a 10-bolt system that works similarly to an auto wheel, and a 5 spoke "star" looking sort of thing that has rims that are smooth-ish cylinders that are the inside diameter of the tire and serve pretty much only to carry the tire. They mount onto large multi-armed "starfish" looking wheels, the bolts are at the end of the arms, and there are large clamps/dogs involved. Is this setup old school and not used any more, or more used in over-the-road rigs, or ???
Thanks in advance for the education, since that's what I need.
