    HEMTT wheels on FMTV?

    Finally got them done. Cruising with 16s, 2600 RPM is 68MPH. Cruise @ 50 - 55 is around 2100 RPM. Based on an app. Need to calibrate the speedo. Plenty of clearance between the rears. 100.5" track width on the front. With the rim offset, no rubbing on chassis components. Still had (need)...

    HEMTT wheels on FMTV?

    Needing some input on valve stem / ctis Fmtv valve stem is about 1" short and needs 1" more offset to work on HEMTT wheels First two pics. Factory valve stem has the smooth part to seal on the 90* o-ring. In the haltec catalog, it looks like this is a one off style. Other pics. After...

    HEMTT wheels on FMTV?

    Started to see what is all about. Just as when the truck showed up, then the 16s. They are much bigger than I expected. Split one of the old rims to get the valve stem and ctis hardware out to see what will be needed to fit to the HEMTT wheel. I thought the ctis thread on assembly to the...

    HEMTT wheels on FMTV?

    I like the idea of getting that spacing with a rim and back spacing, rather than a spacer. Especially that size on a larger rig. Im curious, of stud length and lugnut style required. And CTIS hardware. It doesn't sound like it's far off from being done.

    HEMTT wheels on FMTV?

    By rub, do you mean, due to the diameter with the 16s? Or on turning, which is what I believe would be avoided with the HEMTT wheels with less back spacing. Others with FMTV wheels and 16s have spoke of making wheel spacers, although I believe they just run them with rubbing. Trying to gauge...

    HEMTT wheels on FMTV?

    HEMTT WHEELS. Bringing this back up to see if anyone has experience with it. I recently purchased some Goodyear AT-3A 16R20. I read lots of posts for rim use on the other trucks and didn't see much for comments for use on FMTV'S Most common looks like, stud length, rim centering style, lug...
