11x20 tires on Deuce?

[davidb56]

Thanks for all the input! I think I'm more confused now than before, seems all other options than the stock 900X20 will need new wheels & may have other problems?

Seems to me the easiest option will be to stick with stock wheels & tires. I have found new tires that are a bit spendy & the used ones except for one source are 25+ yrs old like what I have; one source said they have 6-8 yr old 900's -- so I am thinking that will be the way to go ?

Sorry to be so uninformed, but I just have not kept up with all the tire options & gaining the info is not easy for me.

Thanks to all!!

11/20's work fine. thats what I run. Just chain up the outside rear wheels when needed, and if in bad ice, put a set on the front too. Im chained up right now and go everywhere I want in the snow and on the ice, and also pulling a few downed trees for firewood. Im not in flat ground country.

the tire clearance at the trunion is roughly 1.25 inches with 11/20's. Not enough to safely run chains. But if you try it and it works, let us know.

I didnt give though to looking at hard parts clearences. I was thinking the space between the tires.

Do they fit on the stock 900X20 wheels well?

yes. thats what is on mine now. I take the front A3 wheels off in the winter and put on the A2 wheels with 11/20's, so I can run my spiked chains on ice. The rears always have the stock split rims with 11/20's on.

posted this April 2018 about the route I went - I went with steel wheels made for my duece. Not cheap, but got EXACTLY what I wanted.



Been a while - got a new truck - finally she got new shoes
I had slowly walked away from the MV hobby a year or so ago. Then a buddy sucked me back in by selling me his 1970 Kaiser Jeep Deuce. It has taken a while to find, purchase and then have mounted to my Deuce my new wheels and tires. The tires were Michelin 11R22.5 XDY2's and the wheels came...

The company that made them is wheels now inc and the particular wheel is their # 219

Just another option - hey, it's only money that you will likely spend one time if you do it right the first time. That is how I approach purchases like these. One time purchase of a quality NEW product will never be as cheap as surplus. OK by me.
