I'm installing the 20 inch MRAP hutchinson wheels with the adapter plate, but both of the front wheels are rubbing, I have my adapter plate dish inside of the wheel, can someone please tell me what Im doing wrong. I've seen a ton of people use these wheels, check out the pictures.

I think I've figured it out, these are all dually MRAP wheels, does anyone know if I can just turn the front wheels around and run them or would I have to get another set of 2 wheels for the front?

They'll still rub with the wheels being turn around or would it just limit my turning radius? I really would hate to ditch these aluminum wheels on the side for the steel ones.

Problem is you got the wrong wheels, with too much backspace .
If you really wanted aluminum, you need this one:

20×10 Hutchinson MRAP | Military Tires

MRAP M1248m CMTV Caiman Multi Theater Vehicle BAE Caiman II Caiman 2 Aluminum Wheel / Rim with CTIS

Yea you're right, I try to turn it around and realize that won't work. The ones I have is fine in the rear right? I don't see it rubbing against anything

I didn't flip the hubs, I can get some pictures behind of it today when the rain slows down a bit but I took these yesterday

The stance looks perfect. If I’m seeing your pictures correctly, it looks as if your tie-rods are just barely rubbing the wheels? Maybe you could have spacer rings cut to go between the adapters and wheels, or trade someone with thicker adapters? How thick are yours? I can measure mine late this week.

I'll have to check, they're not that thick, but I don't think spacers would work since the studs are short. The tie rods are barely rubbing but it's rubbing enough to eat the wheel if you move the truck.

I was thinking a ring with the same OD as your adapter, same ID as the MRAP wheel bore, with the 10 bolt holes in them. That way no interference or extra stress on the studs.
