pics of m923 with oversize super singles?

[SCRAP]

anybody have pics of 53"s or 395s on a m923? and do they fit on the rear tandems without rubbing?

the 14.00's look the best!

I agree with Derrick, but I know this is personal preference. The 1600s will fit, but I know that guys have said that they sap the power out of the truck. IMO, 1400s are plenty beefy, but I do realize that guys always want more....and that is the reason that most of us have more than one truck!

who has pics of the 14.00's on one? Im thinking of buying one and want to see how it looks with big singles.

Here are the 14.00's.

that is one awesome looking truck

The member EMR on here has 14.00 on his 925, plenty big enough, I say that because i have helped him change some tires , and them critters are big and heavy!

The 16.00s sure do look good.

14.00's

What is the size difference between the two? I have a 925 with 14's and the bed is up so high it's almost too high to use as it is.

I have had stock 1100's, 1400's and 1600's on my truck. 1100 are stable, cheap and slow! 1400 are smooth riding, harder to find in good condition and give a good highway speed. 1600's look cool, can be found at fair prices, but ride like crap and suck the power. You can get more highway speed out of 1600's but it is not a fun ride, now with 1400's you can't go as fast but the ride is a lot nicer.

Oh and if you haven't guessed yet. Yes 1600 will fit on a M923, but there is only 3/4 inch between the rear tires and the fronts will rub on the pitman arm and hydraulic assist cylinder in the front.

16:00's

16:00s's fit fine. They do sap some power , but its not that bad. Goodyear 16:00's look smaller than the Michelins. I believe the michelins are a better tire.

Mine with 14's...

 

[FASTNOVA]

395's on mine...Didn't notice much difference from the 14.00's.

 

[Csm Davis]

All of the a1's and a2's come with 14.00's

 

[plumkrazy]

One thing to consider is the speed rating of the tires. The Goodyear 395's are rated for 68 mph the others at 55. If you plan on driving at speeds over 55 and you have a wreak, you can bet the LEO's and lawyers will be looking at "possible" reasons for fines or lawsuits. Let's not give the public or law makers more reason for more restrictions to our OD addictions. Just an old OTR retired driver thinking out loud. Peace out.

I don't know if the tires can be balanced but the one's on my truck 1400's are very bad at 50 or 60 mph and I don't plan on keeping them on if I keep the truck....

I have 16.00s on my m923. They don't rub ~anywhere. I used HEMTT wheels.



It handles fine, but I don't drive it fast. Has plenty of power, I flat towed an m925 the other day with no issues. I noticed my fuel mileage went from 5 MPG with 11.00s to 7.5 MPG with 16.00s

The good thing about 900 series trucks in that they have longer wheel studs and take HEMMT rims. Yes HEMMT rims would be a better choice!
