Good Afternoon folks I have searched for info on this a few times and have come up with nothing to answer my question so here it goes. I have a M-925 that I am singling out next this week with 1400x20 Michelins on Combat rims. The front axle I understand the swap just fine but the two rear axles have me a little confused, I will need to use my Bud bolts on the studs to mount the singles to right? If this how do I get the bud bolts to bottom out on the hub so that I can mount the new tires on, some seem to bottom out and some certainly do not, I have not put a lot of torque on them till I make sure I have all my stuff in order, any suggestions on this would sure be appreciated and thanks in advance!

You put the tire/rim on first then put the bud nuts on or replace the rear buds with lugnuts the same as the front.

Jeff thanks much that is what I needed to know, in afterthought it was a rather dumb question I should have figured that out! Thank you for the assist!
