I need to know about putting larger single radials on

Yeah I learned the hard way about the aluminum rims.

How much do the aluminum rims interfere with the drums? Could one put the inner half in a lathe and bore some clearance into it? Of course I wouldn't want to remove too much.

Texas30cal, I'm located in Northeast pa. Anyone pulling any leds and shipping them? I'd love a set of led headlights. I have taillights and turnsignals for my deuce.

Thanks

I pulled a bunch of stuff for a few guys here a while back but have not been able to ship, I am a one man atv/utv/motorcycle repair shop and have been swamped for months. I have been averaging 30+ units sitting here waiting to be worked on, along with being a single parent now there is just no time, I have about $900 tied up in it and I will check but I don't think there were any extra headlights, I pulled all I could get my hands on. I am making a little progress so hopefully after the deer season rush is over I can ship.

Are these tires being talked about at scrape yard in Texas the MRAP aluminum type that gets used on deuces? I got some MRAP from another source , I'm not going to have a problem with wheel studs being short wiht peashooter adapters?

No, these are 10 hole Budd pattern, but require special Budd nuts to use on a 5 ton. Nobody that I am aware of is making adapters to put these on 6 hole Budd axles. Thanks Michael for the pic.

They interfere with the drum guard. The drum is a tight fit but it's the guard that it won't go over.

Gotcha

After reading through this and seeing the pictures of the steel wheels (FMTV wheels), I purchased a lot of these off of GL a few years ago and they bolted right up to my five ton with no issues. I also took a set and re-centered them to fit on one of my deuces.

No problem, fully understand. If you do come across some drop me a line and if I'm still looking at that time I'll take 2 off your hands.

Thanks
