I was thinking that might be the case, but it still seems that the valve stem hole in the ring, lines up with the hole on the face plate, and that hole goes through to the inside of the wheel. Look at the pics.
The wheels look great, and I am very interested in updating mine, however I'm just not conceptualizing the valve stem attachment w/out seeing more photos.
Also, I do like having the tube-type radials which came new on my truck so I want to keep them. Firestone T831 11.00R20

Those are good looking wheels.

I know it's being done but would be afraid of putting the big itres on stock wheels. Early this year I lost a good friend when a sidewall on a trailer tire that he was airing up blew. He died before they could get him to the hospital. It only takes one time.

I'm just curious why the fronts have the thread side facing out but the backs have the studs facing the other way. I think it would look interesting if the backs faced out as well.

Wow. Sorry to hear that. I hope you don't mind me asking, but was he mounting the tire, or just airing it up?

For you guys that make the HEMMIT wheels to fit the Deuce, how does the backspacing of your wheels compare to the wheels on the M35A3? I really like how the A3 wheels sit under the fender on the steer axle. Seems most pics I've seen of modified wheels indicate they sit outside the front fender a bit? Maybe it's just the picture angles or tire tread, I don't know. It'd be nice to hear from those who make them to get a definitive answer though.

Thats because of the off set of the rims... Its so all the wheels line up...If I would have flipped the hubs, I could have put the rims like the ones in the front on the whole truck but I like this look alot better

Sorry to hear that Bro...but that is the EXACT reason I went with the custom HEMTT rims...I didnt want to have any problems.

So, do the Hemmit wheels and M35A3 wheels have the same degree shoulder? ie. 5* or 15*? Wondering if one goes with Hemmit wheels can he run 14.5x20 tires the M35A3 comes with? And vice-versa, if one goes with M35A3 wheels and 14.5x20 tires can he move up to the 395's in the future if decides to do so?

aftermarket wheels

Good tread guys, I have to say I'm alittle confused, but keep it coming and I'll reread. I would like to do the same someday. Need to figure which wheel and tire combo first.

Thanks Ron

Hey chief, I have both here at the house. Let me know next time you drive through and I can show you both. If you are wanting to run 395s, I think you would be better off with Hemtt rims as the A3 style are for MPT tires. They have a smaller shoulder for the tire sidewall to press against. I know some do it, but it doesn't look as good. I have a set of A3 rims if you decide thats what you want.

I had actually posted that before I got the Canadian wheels. I reasoned that with them I could run the 11.00 that came on them, or later step up to a 395 or 14.5 and not have an issue.

After the dismal performance the 11.00 ZXL (or whatever they are) put in in the mud at Haspin this year I wish I had some 395 or even some 11.00 NDT :???: Sure did make me sick when I was stuck trying to leave out that morning and got pulled out - easily - by a truck with dual NDT's on it.

It very well could have been air pressure or driver error! hehe. I guess I missed the date you posted. I didn't have the rims at that time.

Both are 5º and almost identical diameter (d1). (see it here..., post #17, second pic.)

Wondering if one goes with Hemmit wheels can he run 14.5x20 tires the M35A3 comes with?
..... I tried to explain why NOT, in that same thread... (post #10 and #17... see drawings)

And vice-versa, if one goes with M35A3 wheels and 14.5x20 tires can he move up to the 395's in the future if decides to do so?
Yes. But to run 395's you would prefer a wheel with 2 or 3 inches less backspace, to avoid rubbing against inner fenders and/or other parts.
