140x20 tires & rim on front

[junkyardog]

i purchased 1400 x 20 tires and rims, the rim is the style that has a o ring close to the center of the rim. they are double if not more the thickness of the regular budd rim with 11x20 where they bolt on to the truck will i have to put new studs in or is there a spacer under the original bud rim i can take off. it does not look like i have enough stud to get a full nut...... thanks

Got any pics? Do you have HEMTT, M939 series, or FMTV rims? How many bolts? The thickness is all different. No spacer to take off. Longer studs may be required.

i dont know how to put up pictures.i have a 1970 m51A2, i purchased the rims from BERG tire supply. it is a 10 hole bud with 20 studs or more to join the 2 peices together.i can find out from BERG TIRE what they are called. they were very nice people to deal with.this seams to be about 5/8 or more on the thickness of the rim where the 10 1 1/2 nuts hold the wheel on.

If there are 20 bolts, I think they should fit without problem.

if you dont mind me asking, how much were they?

 

[junkyardog]

they dont look like that. the center is flat and is the same hight as the 20 or so bolts that hold them together, i paid $150 a peice for the tires and $175 a peice for the rims. i purchased 7 of them. one for a spare. shipping was not cheap.

If you take the time and count the number of bolts in your rims, it might makes things a little easier here.

From the description, it sounds like he's got two-piece HEMTT combat wheels.

Probably, but I have never seen a HEMTT wheel with 20 bolts.

I'll get you a picture of one tomorrow--the only one I have.
Wait a minute, you may be correct, it may only have 16 bolts. Regardless, I'm gonna check tomorrow.

 

[M1075]

Yes, the HEMTT wheels have 16 bolts. I have several of these new ones in the crates.

Here is the 20 bolt FMTV wheel for comparison. I have these new as well.

thats it the one in the box

im sorry i thought it had 20 bolts. they are at the tire shop and it was closed.it is that hemett wheel, are they to thick for the nut to go on at least a full thread.
