You want hemtt rims. That's the best solution for the clearance issues.
But you can adjust the stops on the steering and get away with your combat rims. Yes, the tires fit.
You can articulate enough to strike the bed. Solution here is a thicker chunk of wood between the bed and frame, or adjust the bump stops.
Pictured is my M925 on 16.00s and hemtt rims.
The best deal going on 16.00s are the remold XZLs that Wes has. If I were equipping a truck with 16.00s in today's market that's what I'd use.Gotcha. Thank you.
Ok... so HEMTT rims and 16s go on the wish list!![]()

No.Is your CTIS intact?
From what I've read, you can do hemtt rims on the front and keep your combat wheels on the rear if you don't mind having a mixed set.You want hemtt rims. That's the best solution for the clearance issues.

What color / brand paint is this?All-
I currently run Goodyear 14r20s on my 5 ton. I'm thinking about going to the wider Michelin XZL 16r20s.
Will I run into a clearance issue with my steering tires and will 16s fit on my current rims?
Thanks in advance.

That, my friend is Sherwin-Williams Tri-Corn black in a flat finish.What color / brand paint is this?
Yes. I used a Lowes airless sprayerLooks like it lasts well. Did you spray it yourself?
I had no idea that the Bridge trucks had that mod of 3" longer rods and spring pack I would guess! That helps me out! I will be looking for some parts from a bridge truck: Torque rods, rear drive lines and spring packs. Thanks so much for posting this to help me find out what I need. Excellent! Do you happen to know anyone who has these already?Bridge trucks have at least 3 different things going on. They have spacers behind the wheels that increase the width, they have different wheels for the 14.00-20s, and they have torque rods that are 3" longer that end up spacing the rear axles 6" further apart.
If you want more clearance between the tires to run chain on 16.00R20s, say, then swapping torque rods and changing drivelines and maybe brake lines would get you more space.
