What is the rubbing you keep talking about? My tires rub on the fenders and/or step because they are 43” in diameter. The spacers were 12.7mm and only needed for those particular rims to clear the caliper on the rear. I run those rims for additional track width and the stability it provides. I...

Yeah, those look like the ones I have. I wish I had bought a spare when they were available. I had to get spacers laser cut to clear the brake caliper. I would love to find longer studs because the nuts are flush with the end of the studs with the 12.7mm spacer.

There was a member on here from Louisiana, Profo? That was running 365/80R20(14.5R20) on the stock rims, and Alpine44 in Georgia is as well(I think it was mentioned previously in this thread). I went to the Drum rims for stability, not clearance.

They are rims off a South African mine sweeper. They are dimensionally similar to the Unimog Drum brake rims, but they do not clear the rear brake calipers without a 12.7mm spacer. They came with 12.5R20 “Sand Trail” tires that I sold separately. I bought a set of 8 and just recently sold the...

I ran the 14.5R20’s for a year, then got a set of 380/75R20(14.5R20) Ag tread tires I mounted. With the bigger tires, it is slower to accelerate, but has greater flotation. I have not been in a situation where I tested the flotation to say how much better. I would occasionally get rubbing, when...

If memory serves, they are 3” different, so 6” additional track width. The particular rims I have are off of a US military mine sweeper. They had hit the parking brake on the rear of my Unimog #2, so I had just run them on the front. Someone else on this forum has them on a FLU with no problems...

Bingo. Even if the 14.5 are a little older, I am not worried. The 12.5 are marginal with the additional weight of the SEE. I am going to put the 14.5 on my Drum brake rims for extra track width and stability.

I have a spare rim. But shipping from PA may be prohibitive. I just purchased 6 Michelin 14.5R20's from Eastern Surplus. Will post results once I get them on.

I haven’t heard of anyone trying. Based on the 406’s, I think they are unlikely to fit without a cab lift. I have seen pictures of a 406 with 395’s and that required a cab lift and step relocation. As I recall, the 395’s are 46” tall. There is a member on here with 365/80 which are 42”tall. It...
