1400 tires on Deuce

[Patgonia53]

Anyone with experience running 1400 x20 tires on a duece. I just got my goodyear 1400's mounted on Marsh wheels for Boyce... Anyone have any issue with, or have to make major modifications to the front axles to keep a decent turning radius without have the tires rub on something ????
What if anything did you do to fix this.. Extend axles... spacers... What ??

Is your deuce bobbed or 6x6?

i have 14s on stock rims and it does rub some at full turn not sure on the marsh rims i heard they do good with recentered hemtt wheels which i will get soon

Mduece is a "bobbed" done by Clark International Logistics... It Came with stock 900x20"s... I just got my 1400 Goodyears...and mounted the rears... I do have too either lift the M105 bed or extend the wheels wells in the rear... I have not mounted the fronts.. I was very courious about front tire clearance when turning

what backspacing did you get?

Backspacing makes all the difference. I'm running re-centered 5 ton combat rims and 14.00's on my bobbed deuce and I've never rubbed anything and I have a M105 bed on mine and have gone in some pretty nasty stuff.

Not sure on the backspacing... But I got them thru Boyce Equipment... who make a lot of Bobbers.... I will check and post after I measure

I'm running 1400's, but on A3 wheels. Not rubbing so far, and I think they look great.

Coondawg, you're right! I have those same Goodyears on my 931A2 tractor and like them too!

I misunderstood the title of the thread, "1400 tires on a deuce." I'm thinking to myself, it would be great to start a tire business with, but carrying 1400 tires in the bed of a deuce might be a little too much, both for the deuce's suspension, and the local police officer's patience.
