395s WILL fit on a stock Deuce!!!

[100dollarman]

I know there has been several threads on whether 395/85-r20s will fit the axle spacing or not, and if the tire can be installed on a stock wheel. On this set, I used the stock 9.00 tubes. Several sets we have done since, I have installed new 11.00 or 13.00 tubes.

Answer is YES on both questions!!! LOL Just did this one today-- its a Beast!

There are opinions that say you cant do it, some will say its not a good idea, but I am here to say that it is possible, and it looks baddass!

(six smilies for 6 wheels!)

Here are a few pics---

got pics from the rear?

I like the look of the wheels, how the hubs and wheels are not flipped, the dished look is cool

Was at Gimpys Tuesday and seen his truck as he is doing the same thing. NEEDLESS to say I also had a friend with me and he was already debatting a deuce. BUT once we left gimpys i was told to find a deuce and buy one. He bought one today and is already placing a order for tires

These trucks just look nice with them on them.

Can anyone direct me to a tire comparison chart? Or just tell me how these compare to the "old" size designations such as 1100-20 etc

Thanks!

any performance problems with those really nice and big tires?

 

[gregary]

Are those similiar in size to he 1400 20s? I think there about 46 inches tall?

 

[IHASFIP]

I wish I could find some of those semi local to me. It seems like when I find them they want an arm and a leg for them.

Haha! Yeah, I am one axle ahead of you. On my trip to get mine, I had a wheel bearing disintegrate, so I went through my front axle last week and the "front rear" today. I will be going through the last one tomorrow and then I hope to install a new fuel line and radiator. Then its off to the races! Hows you truck feel power wise after the swap? I'm hoping my LDS will not notice them too much. Looks good man, Mine is a drop side winch truc too.

It would be great to have 300hp with a set of those tires on the truck....

 

[tory]

does anyone have any oppinions about the mich. ZXLs, or any of the other massive tires ? actuall offroading ability, street noise, out of round-ness ? likes, disslikes ? and how big can the front tires be before you can't turn the truck, when does tire rub start ?

 

[bigmike]

lookin' great. I am very interested in doing that with mine.

 

[avengeusa]

i would go for it as long as they are safe, i have to make 500 mile trips in mine about 4-5 times a year

 

[DMgunn]

Wow. That looks awful sexy - can you report back after you've had the truck up to highway speeds to let us know if the rears grow enough to contact each other?

Now where's that "thumbs-up" smiley............

As long as I take my little blue pill I am OK.
