Yes those are a center offset or pretty close. Those are the wheels I was thinking of.

By 50 50 you mean the disk Is In the center correct? They would likely work well I. The rear with no flip but likely wouldnt up front.

Draining and checking for water should be a key off exercise after letting the motor sit for a while. Key on or in close proximity to running agitates the fuel mixing the water and diesel. On my trucks I ususally just crack the valve a little and drain some off then check the oil before firing...

I belive mraps have a planatary axle and the lmtv has a more traditional semi truck styled one.

Bolt patterns wont line up. You need about 10.5" for the duece bolt pattern and the centerhole you have is about 9". You could have a new center welded in, however there are not a lot of outfits that will do it for a street legal application. You can do it your self. It is legal but you assume...

There are a couple of products that could work well on the o rings. Slip Tac and Bead Sealer they kind of resemble rubber cement but made specifically for tire work. They help adhere rubber o rings and beads to metal. I have used beaf sealer to help seat hummer tires before but think slip tac...

Normal tube type wheels have a slot for the valve to come out the wheel.. mv wheels have a round hole for a tubeless valve. Part of the issue with putting a tube in the mv wheel is the hole does not line up well with where the stem is. Many of the leaks are right at the stem due to flexing at...

Most mv wheels dont work well with tubes. They key to slow leaks is figuring out where its happening. Hot soapy water is the best way to find out. Likely it either the o ring or the valve stem. Either case you would do much better to keep your tires tubeless.

There are a couple of mv clubs in the area. I belive one is called Puget Sound MV collector or something like that and meet once a month in Redmond at BE Meyers corp. Im pretty sure most those guys have older rigs that do showcase builds. From time to time the XXX drive in on the Front street...

If your truck is sitting a lot then tire covers would be great. Lots of sun, hot/cold extreams puts the hurt on tires.

Tire retreaders paint their tires.

I like the orange zip tie in the barrel. To show its unloaded?

Use a penny head down. If you can see the top of his head its not legal for drives. I belive the commercial federal regulation is 4/32" steer tires 2/32 drive tires (penny check)

Very cool

Tires questions are aplication specific. While older tires generally give up the ghost quicker most tires last due to a few factors. Speed, load, air pressue, age, & if you have a spare with you and the tools to chanve it out yourself... Ive driven on 30 year old tires 35mph short trips empty...

The ability to reuse an o ring has a lot to do with how well its put together. If the o ring is still pretty much round I say go for it. A lot of times they wont get bolted down right and part will squirt out of the channel screwing up the o ring. It tends to mashed flat making it un usable...

Date codes might matter some places but not up here in the PNW. Best part of combat rims is that you dont need any special tools to mount or demount them. No tire shop necessary. If a tire cage is not available there are 2important things to remember. It is safest to be facing the tread not the...

Another breakfast of champions!

I think wear would be most notable in the front as well. Unless you have a locker in the axle then one tire will have more drive going forward and the other in reverse. Do the power tires on the bogy switch sides? I thought they did on semi trucks.

Eat your wheaties! Heavy equiptment=heavy lifting!
