The 14.5r20's are 44x14" tires and the 395/85r20's are 48x15" if I am not mistaken. Yes, I flipped the hubs. If you try to turn the rims around after you flip hubs they stick out like 2 feet. If you don't flip the hubs you can turn the wheels around and they look pretty good, but they will...
Here is the winch. Sorry about the poor quality cellphone pics, dog ate camera. :-x
