[ApopkaFL]

I know for a face that another member here has used a3 wheels on the 53s I will find a picture and post it.

Is he on here? I'd be curious to see some close ups of that? Also interested in how he did the back suspension sine he kept it 6x6

I put the tires ( 1600 R20 XZL ) on today with the M35A3 wheels to see how the would fit in the front and see how much turning I would have with those rims. Its seems to me they are more then fine. They do a good job and they do not rub or hit the frame or fenders or anything. I will post some photos.

You sir just made my day! THANK YOU!

So at full lock, no rubbing at all? Looks good as well.

 

[ApopkaFL]

Yes I have to still remove the lower frame Shock. I plan to go to PCS FULL HYDRO STEERING now.

The blue is a Steering Arm I had built to help with the lift I did.

so are those MPT tires?

 

[ApopkaFL]

Those are Mechlin 1600 R20 XZL

 

[SETOYOTA]

i know what they are but was wondering if the XZL tires are MPT compatible with the a3 wheels.

See the XZL specs chart below... only two sizes are MPT type.
16.00R20's are not.

They are fine...

while looking at your photo's, I see that there is a counter weight on the rim of the front tires. I recommend you remove all the counter weights if you are not going to use the CTIS system to include the protective shield.

 

[ApopkaFL]

I did remove all of them, I found they are useless as well as the CTIS system

does any one know if the 395/85/R20 will fit on the A3 rims. I am running 14.50x20s right now, but will have to at some point change tires as the 14.50x20 will become extinct.

 

[AceHigh]

Yes, they fit fine. New O ring and grommet are needed.

I can get them... pm me with your number
