    question of tires and rims

    I was wondering GimpyRob, What is the offset of your new modified Hemtt rims? Your truck looks awesome. [thumbzup][thumbzup] Edit: I meant, Backspacing. I'm still learning proper rim terms.:doh:

    question of tires and rims

    Thanks for the info. For the stability question, I was wondering more about if the single tire configuration would cause the truck to roll over easier on an extreme side angle. I'm planning on having Stockton Wheel make me a complete set of rims to run 12R-22.5" an 13R-22.5" Hercules Chip and...

    question of tires and rims

    Hey GREAT PICS!! Especially the one with the NDCC and the Big single tire. I was wondering, what size are those tires? 14.00x20"?? Are the rims A3 rims? So, there would be no reason for an odd offset dimension for custom rims with 12 or 13R-22.5" Tires either. I can just flip the hubs and match...

    question of tires and rims

    My only issue with flipping the hubs is that once flipped, the stress point is moved to the end of the axle, instead of being between the two wheel bearings. It must not be a problem though as so many have been running flipped hubs with great success. That and I will probably never have my Deuce...

    question of tires and rims

    Well, I hate to tell you but, rims and tires are probably the biggest cost on a deuce. I have been going through the same issue for the past month, trying to decide what the heck I want to do for rims and tires on my truck. IMHO I don't like the idea of flipped hubs. Now I'm not saying flipped...
