got the tires on

[junkyardog]

im not so sure i like the offset of the hemmit rim. it shows a lot more of the hub in the rear than i like. but i will have to learn to live with it.i do know that they are heavy.

Nice set of tires. Can you flip the hubs on a 5 ton?

That really looks good.

You might be able to counter sink the rear rims on the other side and just flip them around...

they are counter sunk allready. i thought i would have to much offset that way. i also thought it would be a strain on the studs that way.i dont really know.

I think you should flip the wheels around in the rear to widen the stance more and give the tipper more stability. You might be asking for problems with the current setup.

Ditto: Flip the rims in the rear.

yes. you can flip them just like a 2 1/2 ton. they are just 2x the size

RE: Re: RE: got the tires on

I’d flip the rears and get a wider stance, especially if you plan on working the truck... I've been on too many projects where a tipper has tipped over and the side slope involved wasn't that great, but the truck became imbalanced and just rolled over to the side... It's not only embarrassing, but a tad messy when you side dump a bunch of stone or soil from an endump...

Having a wider stance in the rear should help give you a more stable platform when dumping...

Keep a good eye on your tire air pressure as well...

Those tires do look mighty nice, I'm envious.
