    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    Looks good GM... Probably one of the best mods. going. I want an A3 with them on the rear. Money and opportunity have not occurred at the same time. What spacer did you end up with?

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    If you're talking about the one I referenced, the pilot would have to be removed. Or is there a long one that is not the same, with the pilot?

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    I doubt it would unless it's already loose. Don't forget that you are committed to that wheel and spacer and cannot readily change back due to the long bolt. Well, I guess you could use a cut off wheel and make them shorter for the standard inner nut. For anyone else that is not wanting to...

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    Taking 4 hubs apart to replace the studs is a lot of work but would surely do the job.

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    A thread on caster angle strayed too far and went into spacers for the G177 on a deuce because of rubbing on the trunion bolts and it is going to be moved here per moderator. It was last noted that the budd inner bolt may not have enough threads in contact to allow for a 1/2" spacer to go...

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    Don't forget that the first nut does not have threads all the way through, they start back from the face. Stick it on to where the first thread is about to attach and then measure it's distance. I'm looking at a new one and it seems to start threads about 3/8" in.

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    I know it, I had 2 of them with the G177. I also notice the front leaning in curves but never lost the seal on one (tubeless). Is the 5 ton budd wheel the same width as the deuce? Are there other offsets available for a deuce, maybe a wider rim but not the A3 size? Do tubed radials perform...

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    I want to note something I came across in one of the older threads looking for a picture (unsuccessfully). The G177 is rated as a drive tire and not a steer tire, so use it at your own risk on a somewhat narrow budd rim. Might not be a good tire for the front. The handling of the larger tires...

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    I was hoping to find some pictures of this tire combination being done. While the caster is the main thread, it hardly seems off topic to discuss the alternatives in tires and wheels since switching to G177 would involve all wheels in most cases. I'm considering going to G177 rear duals on...

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    Okay, got it on where the rubbing occurs and why the spacer there. It's not clear but I was asking if the dual tires rub together, thus need additional space between also. I was saying that 365's are the same diameter as the 11.00 and you could have a bit more flotation tire, not have as...

    Upgraded deuce's tires to Goodyear G177 11.00R20s (dualed)

    You know the A3 rims and 365's are the same revolutions per mile as the 11.00's? Have you thought about using dual 11.00 on the rear and 365's with A3 rims on the front? Do the rear duals rub with budds and 11.00's? The spacers are for front...correct?
