Rim size
Grant
I had a rim from an M135 ( 20 inch tire size) and it has a one inch greater inside diameter than the outside diameter of the 16 inch CMP rim. The greatest pressure I saw was 15 tons and the tires were dated 1941, 1942 run flats. I assumed they had never been replaced. When I was looking for a shop press the bang for buck seems to improve quickly with increased tons, as does the working width. I have made a set of dies and can form 32 inch wide 16 gauge steel. Maybe not as pretty a job for some instances but for an old CMP it is good enough. Gord

Thank you. Based on your experience I think some investigation will need to be done to see if it is practical/economic to build/modify to get a larger gap for the 20 ton press. With respect to whether your runflats had ever been removed, my only indicator would be that absence of the bead spacer might suggest that at some time in the (distant?) past some work was probably done.
