Default bridge truck wheels

How much trouble is it to swap wheels and tires from a 5 ton bridge truck to a M813? Seems like somebody said that there are some "spacers" or something that has to be swapped. Is this easily done?? Thanks..

Do you plan on driving this truck on city streets? yes, you need the spacers to clear the spring pack and front steering components.you will be about 9'-3" wide,how wide is your bed? I think super singles would be your best bet.

yes, vehicle will be driven on city streets. I am not sure but i think the bed is 8' wide. I believe that there is another member on here that has the 14"s on his truck..

Plan on being around 110" in width. The Bridge trucks are 114" but you have the skinny bed compared to them.

You can run the 14.00's as a single (with the right rims) but if you dual them up you will be over width. it's dark now ,I will try to get some pic's tomorrow of my bridge truck from the rear.with an 8' bed your tires will stick out about 7" beyond the bed.great for awesome rooster tails.

Thanks guys. Looks to me like the 14's would be the best for a brush truck. The super singles are too expensive.

Having trouble with getting pic's to site.if you are going to run the 14.00 ,you will need the axle spacers ,longer studs and a good repore with the local DOT officer.the larger tires will eat up a little HP. how large of water tank are you going use?
