M1101/02 trailers: I need to change the wheels and need the exact size
The guy at the tire shop laughed at me when I asked if I could have a couple tires from their cast-off rack in back. Said he wouldn't use any of the tires for anything, even a trailer. I wheeled the tire in, and he said the same. I looked it over carefully and it looked good to me. Back in... -
M1101/02 trailers: I need to change the wheels and need the exact size
The tires are on! Michellin LTX M/S LT265/75R16 tires that were free from behind the tire shop. Load range E too, so good for over 3400# each. The previous owner ran them under-inflated; you can see it in the pictures. They don't stick out to the side, and aren't sucked into the wheel... -
M1101/02 trailers: I need to change the wheels and need the exact size
Spent a couple hours taking the big 37s off the trailer and test fitting my aluminum mag wheels. They fit perfectly! The tire is centered underneath with no tire sticking out. The stock lugnuts fit, sorta. The socket gets down into the holes (on all but one of the lugs) but the socket OD... -
M1101/02 trailers: I need to change the wheels and need the exact size
Nothing that doesn't involve a two hour drive each way. Living out this far makes it difficult; you have to take what's local. What's wrong with the aluminum wheels? -
M1101/02 trailers: I need to change the wheels and need the exact size
I picked up four of these complete with bald tires, center caps, and spiders for $100. They'll need some work and paint. Will I be able to reuse the existing lug nuts with these wheels? -
M1101/02 trailers: I need to change the wheels and need the exact size
How about these? 16.5 8-lug dually wheels off 1970's Dodge motor home. They're cheap, but I'm not sure how common 16.5" tires are outside the military. -
M1101/02 trailers: I need to change the wheels and need the exact size
I think I remember reading somewhere that I can swap in new brake drums (just the drums, no other changes) to make the axles 6-lug? It would be more convenient if it had the same pattern as my M1009 and 6-lug are more plentiful. -
M1101/02 trailers: I need to change the wheels and need the exact size
The six-lug was just the picture I was able to find. I was wondering what the bore size needed to be (min) to fit my M1101 trailer. Unless you've all been saying all along that the GM eight-lug wheels only ever came with one bore size. The six-lug wheels came with at least two bore sizes, and... -
M1101/02 trailers: I need to change the wheels and need the exact size
Does anyone know what the BORE size needs to be? I see ads on craigslist for Silverdao wheels but the bore looks much smaller than even my 6-lug M1009 wheels.
