Goodyear G177s 11.00R20s fit on an M816 Wrecker?

[Valence]

I had made the mistake of ASSUMING that if my deuce didn't have too much trouble running the G177s, that the much larger 5 ton M816 Wrecker would have more room. But tonight I was questioning that assumption as I took a closer look at the rear suspension and tire clearance.

The truck currently has Michelin XL 11.00R20's on them. They are pretty much junk all the way around. I just wanted to get your opinion if the Goodyear G177s 11.00R20 will have clearance issues on the rear duals. I realize the final verdict will be to actually mount one (I have a few remaining after upgrading my deuce), but I have more time/ability to discuss than energy/daylight to be mounting/dismounting tires on the truck.

Here's a few pictures of the clearances offered by the existing Michelin XL 11.00R20s:


And here's a few of my attempts at showing the width difference of the Goodyears as compared to the Michelins:
(note, the Michelin on the left below is on a deuce wheel, while the Goodyear is mounted on a proper 5-ton wheel)

They should fit with no issues.

Looks like both have 1.5" from the rim to the lug...

No problems with them on my 818 mounted on standard 5T lock rings.

Thanks for the feedback folks. I'll revisit this thread in the distant future when the truck is actually drivable and has the Goodyears on...

Here are some pics of G177's on standard 5 ton rims on my M818. Plenty of room in there.
