Tire size question - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

What is the widest tire you can put on the stock deuce wheels? Is 15.5" wide and 46" tall too much tire?

Added question: What is the center to center dimension for the two rear axles?

It's been done, think Rizzo did it. Not sure how streetable it will be.

Too much work for me.

You'd play **** compressing that 15.5 XL down enough to get the ring on, then the center would be all crowned up.

BFR, are you saying that the Deuce's standard wheel is approved for running 12.00x20 tires and stamped so? I thought that 11.00x20 were the biggest on the stock wheel. Lets see 44" tall......

the center does not look like it crowns up. I have not measured it, but looking at it and comparing it to my 1600s on hemmt rims it looks the same

oh yeah it is hard to compress the tire. we have a special tool

Rizzo, the 1600's are designed for a 10" wide wheel, as are the 15.50 XL's or 395/85 XML's. I believe the 14.50R20 XL's are to be on 11" wheels. So how wide are your wheels?
