    395's on stock 5 ton rims

    also a 395 is wider than a 14.00 A1 rims are almost identical to the fmtv rims the 395's come from.

    395's on stock 5 ton rims

    if I ran 395s on stock rims they would have less PSI in them then stock there would also be 6 rims less than stock so I think chances of a split rim ring blowing off is slim to none compared to a stock truck the military feels is safe with thousands of pounds of cargo and split rings. I do agree...

    395's on stock 5 ton rims

    I have actually had that exact same thought I would like the g177's more if they were on a standard rim, I think some med duty box trucks came with 20" rims in correct bolt pattern but doubt they are stud pilot. also I know size isnt everything but the 177's just look little small on the 939...

    395's on stock 5 ton rims

    ty guys I figured rim would be on narrow side but having seen all the deuce guys raving about how they loved the 395s (on their stock rims) I figured it would be worth looking into.

    no dont know anyone I can get a dealer tag from i thought about it lol. the truck is 210 mi from me if it gets 10 mpg (what i have seen most people state) that would be 21 gallons of fuel 21x$4.00=$84 in fuel for truck and my car gets 35mpg so it wont use much to go down and back. No I...

    M813 + xlz 395/85r20

    hemtt wheels weigh around 125-150 each and combats weigh around 95 if I remember correct, 395's weigh about 30lbs less than 14.00's so he would be looking at atleast 50lbs less per tire/wheel plus have about 2" less circumference. 16.00s are 52" and 14.00 are 48" so thats only 4" jump up and...

    M813 + xlz 395/85r20

    I dunno alot of guys that run 14.00's and switch to 16.00's comment on huge difference in hill and towing power. i would think the 46's would be good choice and you can also go to a standard 5 ton combat or fmtv wheel as they are lighter to loose little more rotating mass. m939 guys seem to love...

    yeah I keep thinking about towing it but I might just drive it, bikeman has been great and went over truck only problem is a shimmy (possibly from tires being low for awhile) at 45 but is off and on. So far I think he has driven truck over 1 hr and had no problems so I think I can get it home...

    ha ha I looked at few in sparta but getting them home seemed like a big task, they were about only place with steady stream of A2 trucks though. My m923 is sitting @ bikemans right now waiting to get a tow, I keep thinking about driving it but I cant afford a ticket or break down (tow bill will...

    395's on stock 5 ton rims

    wreckerman I am talking about the split ring style, the bolt together ones are the a1-a2 ones. I'm thinking the 395s on stock rims for winter use and would just like to save little money from buying other wheels since I will have 4 stock ones leftover after bobbing truck down to 2 axles. If i...

    14R 20, 16R 20 or 395's

    some of them came from gl, I have actually had the 16.00's before for a mud truck they were goodyear AT2A's which are about an inch shorter than other 16.00's but little fatter also. I will tell you the 16.00's are not only taller than the others but alot heavier also so that might be where...

    14R 20, 16R 20 or 395's

    from what I have gathered on here if you go to 16.00r20's on your stock a1 rims they will fit but rub when turning hard, you would need the hemtt rims to get rid of rubbing. The 395s seem to be very popular as they have a higher speed rating and seem to ride bit better than the 14.00's or...

    395's on stock 5 ton rims

    Has anyone ever mounted 395 tires on the stock 923 rims (non a1-a2 wheels) . I have seen deuce guys run them on their stock rims so I would think they would be fine on the stock dually rims , I do not plan to run them as duals as I know they would be too wide and too close together. i plan to...

    any weight rating problems with bobbed 5T?

    ty for reply guys I will actually be getting truck registered as a pickup after bob is completed so there shouldnt be any registration issues with number of axles listed on reg. I had also seen where a guy trimmed his original data plate down to where it was only the vin half but it still says...

    Show me your Bobbed M923

    man I in no way want to say your wrong since you built the truck and I have only seen pics of it, but to me this looks like the trailer frame under the bed on top of the 5 ton frame, even looks like still has the bolt holes from stock trailer suspension.

    Show me your Bobbed M923

    did you leave a section of frame under it or something? it looks like there is a separate piece of tubing above frame and under bed supports that I havent see on bobbed pics before. here is a pic of 923 with trailer bed sitting on top of frame vs yours, looks like the bottom of your bed is level...
