Location: Victoria, BC. Canada | If you've found a set of old-school Budd 19.5" wheels you want to mount on your coach, you'll need these to bolt them on.
These old Budd wheels where used on many brands/models of old coaches and trucks. They are a five-lug, lug-centered 19.5" x 6" wide wheel with approximately a 5 7/8" hub center that will need to turned out on a lathe to just over 6" to work on our coaches. They can be a more affordable means to get your coach into 19.5" rubber in the narrower tire sizes.
I have one that I want to utilize as a spare and after some searching, confirmed what I needed to know. Thanks also to Lou, who also helpfully recommended the Euclid wheel-end catalog (pdf. pg. 4-3) online. For some reason I can't copy/paste a link to the pdf.
Part number: Euclid E5652-R OUTER CAP NUT
Note #1: the 'R' is for RH thread; 'L' is for LH thread.
Note #2: user to confirm/beware of fitment on rear dual wheel applications. I'm personally using the Budd wheel as a spare for my front steer tire(s), or, an outside position rear wheel spare (lug centered) application only.
Remember: The OEM FMC wheels are 'hub-centered' and we need to be aware of the differences between 'hub' & 'lug' centered wheels.
Going out on a limb some here as I haven't actually tried to bolt one of these nuts on to #846 yet but should have mine here in a few days to find out.
Ordered six (one for a spare) from these guys (just over $5.00/ea CDN to my door!

Hoping this will help others down the road trying to sort this out, someday... somewhere... somehow.
