    I think LTL, pallets, etc. are a niche for them.

    MRAP 395/85/R20 on HEMMT wheels

    HEMMT wheels it is then! Has anyone used this HEMMT wheel seller on Ebay, might be a member here and his feedback is good but I want to be sure that i'm getting a quality OEM wheel. I hope this doesn't violate a for sale post in the wrong place, not meant to. Thanks. Edit: link removed.

    MRAP 395/85/R20 on HEMMT wheels

    Thanks for the info, I had no idea they were that thick. How thick are HEMMT wheels at the hub? I probably would waterjet the wheel a little tight and then machine both the wheel and adapter plant to make it flush so that when it's painted, you won't see the joint. Sounls like i'll need to...

    MRAP 395/85/R20 on HEMMT wheels

    Thanks for the replies, this helps. It looks like the principle is the same as a 2 1/2 ton swap, just with a scalloped profile. I can cut the wheel profile in the CNC Mill and machine a plate with a matching stepped scallop so the wheel and new spacer are flush on the outside. Wheels will be...

    MRAP 395/85/R20 on HEMMT wheels

    Because i've yet to hear from someone on SS that has adapted the MRAP wheels to a 5 ton. My understanding is that the bolt patterns are too similar between the two, in other words, there is not enough material to use an adapter plate. I would need to cut out the center of the wheel and weld in a...

    MRAP 395/85/R20 on HEMMT wheels

    I won some of the MRAP wheel / tire combos on GL yesterday, first auction there. I would like to buy some new HEMMT wheels and remount the new Michelins and the run flats I won on the HEMMT wheels so that it fits on a 5 ton. Has anyone done this or see a problem with this. It's kind of...

    M816 multifuel and 53" tires

    Thanks for posting this, I think did see before and it might have started me in the 6 x 6 direction for this project. What kind of wheels are on the Armor truck, they're two pc.. What are combat rims?

    M816 multifuel and 53" tires

    Thanks, this is something I'm considering. Once I feel i've learned enough to make a decision which vehicle would be right to begin with, i'll decide how discreet I want the vehicle to be. Quite of few have brought up that this vehicle would be a target, that is something that I did not fully...

    M816 multifuel and 53" tires

    Thanks for the replies, this isn't about prepping, it's about building a versatile armored MV for fun, the same reason it seems most eveyone on SS has them. Most all different and built to suite their owners own taste. I have some time and cash on my hands and am looking for a project to do...

    M816 multifuel and 53" tires

    What about the rears to bolt the HEMMT wheels? Does something need to be done to the hubs, flip them or something? Is that a big deal? Will the 395 MRAP tires around now fit on the HEMMT wheels? How about the run flat inserts from the MRAP also, will they fit on the HEMMT wheels? Thansk...
