Well, after 2 long days of back breaking work I now have modified HEMTT wheels and 15.5R20's on my deuce. (I also flipped the hubs)

They're heavy, I imagine at least 100lbs each. 2 people can carry and mount them on the truck without the tire on them.

That truck looks tougher than woodpecker lips.
I see you have the exhaust can in the "launch" position.

Great looking rig. Thank you for taking the time to post the pictures. As a noob I am still looking for my first Deuce but already knew that I wanted to do the same tire modifications to it that you have just done. Great to see it in living color. Fans the flames so to speak.

I bought stock HEMTT wheels and had a local maching shop modify them.

Can you shoot the metal can over the roof when you start her up?

I've blown it off a few times by accident.
Does anyone know if there is a concern about bending valves by starting it with that still on?

I'll have to measure. It's 3/8" less than a stock HEMTT wheel.

I'll try to get a close up pick of the wheels, they're not pretty right now though. I need better wheather to get a good finish on them.
