This thread was started in 2005 and brought back again in 2009... so I hope no one minds another 4 year revival...
The OP was wondering what folks thoughts were on using the M104A3 trailer wheels (one piece, tubeless, 22.5") as an alternative rim on the deuce. I couldn't find any pics of anyone using them on their deuce so maybe not a very popular idea... only 7" wide and not conducive to singling out (or dual obviously) on the rear...but I'm still curious to see pics of these on a deuce with any semi tire taller/beefier than the stock G186s. If anything, maybe a way to push the tires out a bit on the front of a deuce with the rears still dual or maybe as a set of wheels/tires just for running on the pavement:
Also some talk of early Ford/UPS/FED-EX/motorhome 6 lug 22.5 tubeless rims being used on the deuce as well. I have seen a few pics of these with a semi road tire and without a little knobby to 'em I think they don't look right... but I recently came across one of these wheels on a Ford F-7 with a 22.5" Firestone T831s and I
LOVE the look of this (just imagine OD green!!):
I know G177s and T831s in the 11.00x20 military size can be had surplus and mount nicely on the stock lock ring wheels, but I was curious to anyone's experience with running tubeless 11.00x22.5 tires on their deuce using either of the wheels above, or some custom tubeless rims... would be cool to run a little different offset too, like this yellow GMC (minus the lock rings
