If you have the $$$ and can get them, I highly recommend it. They are awesome!

i know nothing about the various rims available, so I need help. I want the big-old-wide tires on my deuce, but don't know where to start. for the 395/85 r20 tires (or similar) what rims do I need? Will the A3 rims be the right size and fit my existing deuce bolt pattern? or do I need rims for a 5-ton?? modified?? custom rims?? if you could break it down into "baby-steps' for my little brain, Iwould be VERY grateful. thanks.

WWW-

You have several options to get the look you want.

1. Take two stock deuce rims, cut in half and reweld to form a 10" wide rim. M35 products has done this.
2. Get 5 ton beadlock rims and machine a custom center with the duece lug pattern and bolt in. Spicergear is working on this.
3. Get A3 wheels. Probably hard to find and expensive.
4. Make/Buy custom double beadlock rims for the duece. I have two sets. One is for sale.

When you cut and weld 2 stock deuce rims, do you retain the split ring? Or do you make it up like a tubeless? I didn't know if the radials were tubed or not.

RDM-

You can go either way. Weld it up and use the split ring (looks like stock rim, only 10" wide), or get new centers and leave as two halves (2 piece bolt together design with or without beadlock insert). My radials are tubeless and are on the 2 piece double beadlock rims. One half shown in the pic.

For the price of tubes and flaps for the big radials, I would probably want to run tubeless. I wonder if you could recenter tubeless supersingle trailer wheels? I have access to a big enough lathe to work 20" wheels, and the welding lathe to make the welding process easy.
How hard are the 5 ton wheels to find, and how many $ ?
Spicergear, ever get your adapters made up?

 

[spicergear]

I had a guy that was interested in buying the five ton wheels and then I was gonna get a set of Stazworks double beadlock jobbies. The guy seems to have disappeared. I'll prolly get them made soon.

I haven't seen many stock 5 ton 2 piece rims for sale, how much do they cost and who's got them for sale?

 

[gringeltaube]

I couldn't find 11x20" wheels for my tubeless 14.5R20 Conti MPT 80, so I just made them!

Gerhard: How did you make your wheels? I have a lathe big enough to turn 20 inchers, but have not been able to decide what parts to collect to end up with what I'll need. Also, where did you run your exhaust out at? Dave

 

[Westech]

very nice. thats how you do it.

Looks like an LD 465 truck? With the stock muffler and exhaust?
Let us have the details on how you built up the wheels. I have been considering doing the same myself.

Please add your location to your signature, that way we know where you hang out! Throw in the details on your truck, looks really clean!
Great looking wheels!

I had a great weekend driving a couple of steel soldiers. The super singles were just plain fun!

My wife is wondering why I'm drooling on the keyboard; I think she thinks I'm looking at porn.
