Berg is very reasonable with the prices of shipping their tires.

SI, here are a couple shots of my 12.5s

I have seen Bill's truck in person, and it looks really good with the 12.5's

They fit the stock wheel quite well, but look better than singled-out NDCC's. Plus, all your instrumentation is the same because the rolling diameter is the same.

A good choice, but I think they're harder to come by than the 11.00's and 14.50's

 

[shootiniron]

Will the 14.5's mount up ok on stock rims?

 

[DanMartin]

Nope!

Check out this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?t=17472
...especially the postings by gringeltaube. It's a good thread on this very subject...

I guess that about says it.I would like to use them as they move the "cool" meter a bunch more in the singles catagory than the 11.00's do.

 

[DanMartin]

Get some wheels from OD Iron...you will be glad you did. They work perfectly for this application...and you don't even need to flip the hubs for (near) perfect front-to-back alignment (within 1/4", which you cannot see over the length of the truck). No muss, no fuss, and they bolt right on.

It's either that, you're own custom rims ($$$) or finding a set of A3 rims (used to be super-scarce, but getting easier lately, but still $$$).

I know what you're trying for...I already did all the looking, this is the best way. OD Iron wheels with 14.50s all around. Oh..and don't forget you need a spare (or at least an 11.00R20 on a stock wheel, as the height is nearly the same as the 14.50R20).

Thanks Dan,I appreciate your input.I was hopeing to keep this as painless as possible,what does OD Iron get for thier wheels?

 

[tie6044]

X2 on the price, and Dan, are all 6 of your rims the same? I already have my rear hubs flipped out so I assume I would just run them all the same as the fronts. Does OD list these rims and tires on the website? Maybe I missed them.

 

[DanMartin]

Yes, all are the same. You can run them both ways...flipped or no. Should not matter.

Mike (ODIron) does not list them on his site...but he does sell them. I think he's trying to keep production down to a reasonable level. Just email or call him...He'll hook you up.

Here's pics in case you didn't get the link earlier: http://s214.photobucket.com/albums/cc162/dantheman29a/Tires/. Those are 14.50R20s on his wheels, unflipped hubs.

When I got mine, I found 5 on GL and then kept looking but could not get anymore so I bought two more from Gay's Tire in Moultrie GA and had them shipped.

i got 15.5 80r 20s on mine singled love em i was gonna go with xmls but looked like they would wear out quick i think xls are the best all round tire really do good in mud snow rain even sand alot better than the ndt which we all know stands for non directional travel

 

[tie6044]

I got some 14.5's with excellent tread and have rims on order from Mike at OD Iron, I can't wait to get them and bolt them on and go play in the snow From all the pics I've seen of singles on a deuce I like them the best, especially on Mike's rims.
