G744, not all tubeless designs are equal. Two piece rims can be assembled/disassembled using hand tools/wrenches. Also, with a tubeless setup, it is possible to plug a leak without ever changing the tire.
It looks like the Army is going to two piece rims with tubeless tires on all tactical...
Wallew-
The purpose of flipping the rear hubs is to have the same overall axle length (WMS to WMS) front and rear. You don't have to flip the hubs to run singles, but the tracks will be different (wider in the back). Also, flipping your hubs allows you to run all of your rims the same way...
Warren-

Since the 12.5x20 is essentially the same diameter as the 9.00x20 (actually smaller) you will not increase road speed with these tires. Similarly, the 14.5x20 is the same diameter as the 11.00x20 (just wider and usually a radial).
Sizes
See if these help. Overall diameters (may vary by brand, type, or condition)
12.5x20 - 40.7"
9.00x20 - 40.9"
14.5x20 - 43.4"
11.00x20 - 43.5"
12.00x20 - 44.5"
395/85R20 - 46.7"
For even tire sizes (11.00, 14.00, 16.00) a quick rule of thumb is to double the number and then add 20" for...
