After getting the wheel out of the way and checking under the truck, the wheel is rubbing on the arm that connects to the tie rod. My adapter plate is 3/8 in thick. Im guessing the 1/2-inch-thick spacer should solve the problem or at least I hope. These wheels offset seems very similar to the...
Smart I'm going to give that a try, I found some 1/2 Inch adapters, if those give it enough space than I'll go for some spacers in between the adapters. Does anyone have a picture of how close the tie rods are to the stock wheels or how it is to the other MRAP wheels?
Wheel Studs | MV Parts Store, for all your Military Truck Parts (mvpartstore.com) Seems like I can extend the studs with these and run spacers to space out the wheels from hitting the tie rods
I'll have to check, they're not that thick, but I don't think spacers would work since the studs are short. The tie rods are barely rubbing but it's rubbing enough to eat the wheel if you move the truck.
Yea you're right, I try to turn it around and realize that won't work. The ones I have is fine in the rear right? I don't see it rubbing against anything
They'll still rub with the wheels being turn around or would it just limit my turning radius? I really would hate to ditch these aluminum wheels on the side for the steel ones.
I think I've figured it out, these are all dually MRAP wheels, does anyone know if I can just turn the front wheels around and run them or would I have to get another set of 2 wheels for the front?
Yep, I'm lost, I've research for the pass 2 hours and haven't seen anyone else have this issue. After looking at the truck from up front, the tires does look a bit more sucked in than they should be, maybe these ain't the right wheels for the front? I'm clueless
Looks like the exact same setup I have, I have no clue why my wheels is scrapping on the front. Do you have anything spacing the front wheels out besides the adapter?
I'm installing the 20 inch MRAP hutchinson wheels with the adapter plate, but both of the front wheels are rubbing, I have my adapter plate dish inside of the wheel, can someone please tell me what Im doing wrong. I've seen a ton of people use these wheels, check out the pictures.
It seemed like the fan was a lot quiet than what it was, but my idiotic self forgot that I had sealed off the doors with weatherstripping last week which is why it sound much quiet in the cab
I finally got to actually putting these on the truck but Im kind of stuck, how do we air the rear tires up? the valve stem is so close to the hub that I can't get my pump fitting to go on it, is it only able to be aired up with the wheel off the truck? Also, do we use the stud with the square...
Is it normal for the fan to partially engage? I notice with this new cadillac valve, my fan partially engages around 225-230 and shuts off at around 190. My other cadillac valve had always fully engaged the fan, This was with my old radiator though, the temp usually would never drop and stayed...
