I was surprised too. I figured they would rub like the Humvee tires but they do not. The plate behind the front license plate is a vintage fold down step. I found it on the front of the plow parts truck I bought and I thought it was cool. As it turns out it's very useful for reaching into the...

If anyone is interested…….. I finally decided on a tire for my M884. I went with Goodyear Duratrac 315 / 75 /16 and put them on the steel wheels I got on my junk yard trip. They only rub very very very slightly on the steering arm if I'm turning full crank to the right and only if the drivers...

@N1265: Thanks! Yes I was very lucky to get off so cheaply! I finished installing the plow tonight. I'll post pictures this weekend (hopefully)! Now I need some snow so I can learn how to plow it!

Does anyone know if I can use my existing lug nuts or will I need a different type? Thanks in advance.

OK, Here's what I scored for $200 at the local "You-Pull-It" Salvage Yard. 5 Ford 16" X 7" 8-Lug Wheels off of a 1993 E250 van. They all have matching (Except for the spare.) 245 75R 16 Mud & Snow Tires with very little miles on them. Not the size tire I wanted but for $200 they will do for...

That's good to hear that the 265/75's do not rub. I think I'm going to order them with studs. I can run them here in PA from Nov. 1 - April 1 and I'll have my 36" for the summer.

@N1265: Thanks for the pictures. I found the Firestone Winterforce P265/75/R16 at $96 each + $15 each to have studs put in them. I like the way they look but I'm concerned about the rubbing on tight right turns…..I already have that problem with my 36" tires. I found these rims: 8-lug Chevy...

@BobH Thanks for the reply. Any recommendation on a tire brand and size to use for plowing. I'm only using the plow to do my driveway so I don't want to spend a ton of money.

Glad I found this thread…. I had the same question about the tires for my M884. It came with the 36" tires. They look cool but I'm not sure how they will work for plowing…...Anybody know??? If they won't be good I'll get the ford rims and tall skinny tires for plowing. What would be the tallest...
