Are any other wheels compatible with a B-25 nose wheel?

I coule be wrong but I thought that T-6 mains were 27" wheel and B-25 nose wheel was 30" wheel. I think that the B-28 used the same nose wheel but that probably doesn't do you much good :-). What is the situation which made you curious? Do you need a B-25 wheel?

a few of the guys started having a discussion about the matter. I walked in in the middle of it and when they started to heated about it, I offered a simple suggestion. Check the part number and see if there are any other applications for it. We have a good nose wheel but we would like to have a spare on hand.

If its 30" I believe P-40s used what is the same rime with a brake drum added.
Many of the p-40s I remember had P-51 wheels and brakes as they were better and fit the axel.
