    M816 Wrecker towing an M817 Dumptruck

    It did. The turn shown in the video is why most drivers can't get a tractor trailer to my house (I can, but that's a whole other story). Andy

    16R20 XZL on M818

    Under compression, at full turn, the knuckles on the outer edge of the tire will rub the "c" shaped bracket on the rear part of the frame section. Remove the bracket and you remove the rub. FWIW, only the passenger side rubbed on mine. Andy

    Take the outer wheels off of the rear tandems and you're no longer over width. It worked on the M123 that I had hauled from CA to MO. Andy

    PLS wheel needed

    An easy way to check is to measure the bolt pattern. If it's a 13-1/4" bolt circle, then it's a pls wheel, and it won't fit the 5-ton. If you need wheels to fit the 5-ton, I have them, and I'd be willing to trade :-D. Thanks, Andy
