16.00r20 on A3 wheels?

[usmctopgun]

I'm thinking the backspacing isn't enough? I've read the threads and know the story about the bead, I'm not concerned there with it seating, but will they work and not rub? Will be running approx 8" to 10" of lift. Thoughts?

you will need more then 5 or 6 " lift This photo below is with 8" with the 14.5 on them. I am going to try to use the A3 rims with mine. I will know in few days if they will work. I do not see a reason why they wont work.

what is the deal with A3 wheels and guys being concerned with the bead?

 

[ApopkaFL]

Here are some more photos of the lift. You need to understand your going from a 43.4 " tall tire to a 53" tire. There is a 10" difference in the tire size so 5 or 6" wont cut it.

As stated in my above post, I'm NOT concerned with the bead, just want to know if they will rub, or if anyone has done it? I put that statement in there to avoid comments like this in the thread.... Already plenty of threads with people going back and forth about the bead seating correctly.

Yeah I mistyped, its more like 8"

I personally think the A3 wheels are fine. Look at the hem mint wheels they have not more backspacing then the A3 wheels.

Sir I am very aware you are not concerned with the bead seating. I was wondering why people are concerned..........BTW Your tires will not fit with a 6 to 8 inch lift.

The HEMTT wheel has a good bit more backspacing than the A3 wheel. Even more so when you install a 5/8" adapter plate in them.

According to Clinton at C&C you can run 53" w/ 6" of lift, so please explain your comment? Are you running 53's?

He also moved the axle forward 1" as well.

I noticed he mentioned that, I hope with the extra lift I'll be running that won't be a problem though. Main reason I'm asking questions here, I want to get it right the first time

C&C truck is higly modified with the axle moved and air ride cab......No 53s here. If your in Cochran you should come by and see my motorpool if you like.

I'm sure you mean less backspace for the HEMTT's...
The A3 wheel/tire centerline runs over 2" inward compared to the same for a HEMTT wheel recentered with a 1/2" plate, mounted inside.

Yes, oops, it was late when I posted that and I was dialed into work multi-tasking. OOPS

Sounds like a plan, PM me some details on where you are at.

 

[usmctopgun]

So the consensus seems to be the A3 wheels don't have the correct backspacing for running 53" tires?

Oh, and the lift kit I am running will be 8", and the guy who is building it has the same kit on his A2 w/ re-centered HEMTT wheels, and no rubbing issues what so ever, so I should have plenty of lift. No differences b/t the A2/A3 there right?
