    Front mud flaps on a bobbed deuce?

    Is there any reason no one re-mounts the mud flaps in front of the rear tires after they bob a deuce and use a M105 trailer bed?

    Wheel identification help.

    Can anyone tell me if these are MRAP wheels and if they are do they appear to be steel or aluminum? I am looking for wheels to use on a bobbed duece project. They are 365/85R20. Would they make a good wheel for a bobber or should I try and find 395/85R20? Thanks
