395s on a 109...yup

[peecook]

Got a set of the 395s for the m109. Used the stock rims, luckily the local big rig tire shop took on the mounting job. a few hours later she was a little taller and a little tougher. Didnt flip the rears because the look doesnt bother me. Here are some of the pics.

I like the idea of not buying new wheels, and that trailer looks cool too.

its the storage trailer. we put most of the stuff in there when we go camping or shooting. a lot easier to throw it in there instead "living" with it in the back of the m109.

Please forgive me if this sounds dumb, but are inner tubes needed or used in this instance with the multi-piece rims?

new tubes (12.5) and new flaps. i had 7 tires done, $250 for tubes and flaps and $250 to put them on the rim and the truck. it took the tire guy several hrs, so well worth it for me.

if you use the stock split rim, you have to use tubes. if you buy the HEMTT rims or other after market ones, you dont. It was $2-300 for each new rim, so that made it easy for me to decide.

 

[Harold43512]

And you had to buy larger tubes?

 

[peecook]

right i went from the 9 inch to 12.5 inch

 

[mdmorgan]

i didn't think the stock wheels were wide enough.

100dollarman posted the first pics that I saw of them on there. I was hooked from there.

Nice shot from front down the side. It would appear they track nicely. Can I ask where you obtained the tires?
Thanks.

youll love them.i mounted mine myself and would have paid 250 to have them dine but noone around here would have mounted them on stock rims cuz of the liabilty.i used stock tubes to i only had one flat so far and that one i caught a screw in it
