Looks like there’s a bit of rubbing when turning. I like they way they trimmed the fender flare.

Hi,
i installed my 16´s yesterday. drives well. But rubs.
Mostly in the front at the water tank/ step. Perhaps it´s possible to move it a little bit to the front and cut the fender.
First i will install a lift kit between the sping and axle at the front. Should be a simple part.

I'm going with the 14x20 upgrade.
Any suggestions as to a fair price for my mounted LMTV 395's with run flats? Set of 5.

All of the 1400s I have been able to find are over 10 years old. Alot of them dont seem to age well. The majority of lmtv 395s dont come with run flats. Alot of the 395s on mrap wheels have them.

with the fmtv m1088, you can get away with it, lmtv 4x4 I’m not too sure, I’ve been running mines with 1600’s for awhile with no liftI hope this thread didn't die.. Im still not sure if 53s will fit..

Are there other MV wheels with a different offset, but same bolt pattern as LMTV? And CTIS compatable to the LMTV? The offset would need to be something reasonable so the truck does not result over-wide.

a fellow 53's on an LMTV planned to cut center out of a spare set of steel wheels and use that as a spacer for front axle. Easy way to solve some of the issues. Prior to doing that he did a good bit of trimming. Last I heard he's been happy with that and not done the spacers. Has a crap load of miles on the tires now and seems happy. .

That's interesting. We did not get resolution on the longer bolt tho. Will poke around some more, no hurry, I am allocating 2 years for the build as I am still working. That "job thing" takes up all my time.

The trail will tell you what to remove.
