395/85R20 on stock rims.

[coder123]

I have a 1975 m54a2 5 ton. I want to put 395/85R20 on my stock rims..... Some say I can, some say no... Can someone tell me what to do here? Thanks

Yes, but you'll need tubes made for radial tires. As far as I can remember.

Ok, Thanks I guess I'll have to track them down.

The stock rims are too narrow and the 395 tire will not fit properly, nor will the offset be correct to run as a single

Ok that solves the problem..... Thanks

It's just about as cheap to buy 395s already mounted to LMTV rims as it is to mount them to your rims. LMTV rims will bolt right up to your truck and have the correct offset.

They will work, but not well. The front tires will contact the louvers in the fender wells while off-reading. I had two wheels widened to ten inches to solve that problem but still had problems with tubes leaking. Cheap tubes (less than $50) do not hold up too well for very long. I eventually went with MRAP wheels, on adapters, and have not had another issue. Because of the bead locks, I can really air down too.

Why wouldn't you use the standard combat rims and beadlocks from an A1 or A2 (939 series)? They fit perfect with the 395. On the LMTV, I'm not sure I like the construction, compared to the standard 5 ton combat. Doesn't the LMTV have the bolt face on the outside plate, not the dished part?

LMTV wheels are rated for 900lbs more than a standard 5 ton wheel. They are about the same facing offset as a 5 ton wheel is.

That's good to know....sounds like interchangeable. Do they come with run flats in them when all mounted up?

The XZLs that feltz was selling did cause they were going on mraps without CTIS.

Some XMLs have had runflats and only very few Goodyear MVTs.
