Single out on stock wheels and tires

[Dylandeuceman95]

Hello everyone, so eventually I’m planning on replacing all the tires on my deuce and singling it out on larger tires but will probably keep the stock rims when I do, I understand I can do this if I flip the rear hubs and run the wheels dish out. My question is, has anybody singled your truck out on stock 11.00x20 tires before. The idea here is to at least get the hubs serviced and flipped around and to get rid of a few old tires in the meantime time before buying the super singles. Just wondering if it’s been done and if so does it look goofy as all hell or halfway decent.

Just wondering if it’s been done and if so does it look goofy as all hell or halfway decent.

all i can tell you is in the early 2000's a 42nd infantry company motorpool i drove past had a couple M35A2's that they singled out just by removing the outer duals and left the inners facing inward .. The trucks looked goofy as all hell

idk if this works but if there was an opportunity to grab a set of six special-single rims w/1100x20's from a M135 (gmc hydramatic) or (rare) M34 , if that gave a tolerable wheel setting it might save you the bother of flipping hubs etc , but i don't know, have not done it, have not seen it

I singled-out my M49C while i am parting it out, flipping the inner wheels around to face outward.. It doesn't look bad at all but to run a loaded truck this way puts a lot of leverage/strain on the bearings .. If you just want to run empty around town on occasion, i believe you could get away with just doing this for the time being while you are waiting to do the super singles

M34 and M135 wheels were designed to run as singles with rear hub flips. The most tedious part is pulling and reinstalling the wheel studs. They will accommodate up to 12.00-20 tires.

Singled on 9.00s, no hub flip, dish out-

Thanks guys this was helpful. Especially 98g’s picture. And I don’t haul much with it, firewood occasionally but that’s it. It’s mainly a tool around town because it looks neat truck for me. That doesn’t look terrible. Just a little different. May be ok until I can buy those supers. Correct me if I’m wrong but if I want to run the stock a2 rims with supers I do have to flip hubs and flip the outer wheel correct?
