I got these wheels from Rogers in Ohio. They were brand new in the box. Just needed to install the adapters. Used a 1" impact for those. The studs are #5 1x3 with crimp nut, torqued to about 350ft lb.
I originally mounted these tires on stock rims. And after my first flat, decided to go to the proper rim.
If I can give any advice, Don't install these tires on stock wheels, especially if you plan on mrap wheels in the future. Just do it all at once. It's a PITA to do this job twice especially for us old farts.:drool:
