    M35A3 tire changing to 395/85/20 part 1

    You can cut out the center bubbled out section, then use the 20 bolts around the outside to attach a plate to the wheel that has the 6 bolt pattern you need for the deuce hub. Same thing they do with the Hemmt wheel conversion. I will just have 20 bolts around the edge instead of 16. BTW, My...

    M35A3 tire changing to 395/85/20 part 1

    I bought 8 of the same type of FMTV wheel/tires from GL and was planning to recenter the FMTV wheels for my deuce. Why recenter Hemmtt wheels when you already have a set of wheels that were made for those tires and should be just as easy to recentered?
