You HAVE to leave them out if you want to go the one-piece-wheel route! There is no way you could mount a tire on such a wheel, if it still had a beadlock- or runflat insert inside. G.

Don't know about Marsh but Longs only has (or used to have ) 20x11 shells which they use(d) to build their one-piece wheels. As for backspace I would recommend anything between 8-9 inches. (Front-back tracking would not be an issue since you flipped the hubs.) Basic dimensions for such a...

WOW! Never expected the weight difference between steel and aluminum MRAP wheels to be THAT much...! Thanks for the data. G.

For all of you interested in the comparison of a typical MRAP-12-bolt steel-wheel, vs. the HEMTT, FMTV and 5ton combat wheels posted here: this is another sectional drawing I made (to scale), showing its basic dimensions. Special Thanks! to members Peashooter and Lwarstler, for providing the...

This is the best build of recentered 5ton wheels for the Deuce that I have seen so far and also best proof that in fact FMTV 2pc wheels constitute excellent alternatives to HEMTT and 5ton combat wheels, as base material. Congrats, Ben! Great contribution, job well done and looking very nice...

WOW! .... that is only 0.5mm!? Excellent results and looking very good so far !! Keep on going, you are almost there! G.

I would....... 1) .... put a price on it so that it covers material and workmanship + some extra (for beer)! 2) ..... advertise and sell them for off-road use, only! Keep up the good work![thumbzup] G.

Latest edition, here.... G. Edit: new PDF version, with I.D. corrected to 15.75"

Guess I will have to edit that drawing then, before it starts circulating..... if this is confirmed? Remember, initially it was 17.50", then it returned - corrected to 17.5625", (which already seemed odd...), but I don't recall it ever been 17.78"....:? G.

Ahh OK, no need to measure then, I know these rims....:-) If 3.5" was left on the outside (= front-space) and the center plate is 0.5" thick then on the backside you got backspace = 8.25" G.

Cool! The whole truck looks good! Now please go and measure backspace again....:p` (the way they are mounted you certainly have more than 3.5"....) G.

Agreed on pic#2 and #3..... while Truck#1 needs some cosmetic changes to qualify as "sexy"... IMO :smile: G.

Both are 5º and almost identical diameter (d1). (see it here..., post #17, second pic.) ..... I tried to explain why NOT, in that same thread... (post #10 and #17... see drawings) Yes. But to run 395's you would prefer a wheel with 2 or 3 inches less backspace, to avoid rubbing against...
