Re: RE: Re: RE: Ok... Back To 11X20 Wheels...
Dished in or out makes no difference, in either case the new wheels center-line "cuts" the hub about .75 inches from its center towards the outside. I know..., there we have the smaller bearing 392...
But if we think about bearing life there are many factors to be taken into consideration: besides water and other contaminants what really kills the bearings are shock-loads. Now these bigger radials will absorb shock-loads much better. On the other hand due to the larger diameter we have a greater leverage effect on all rotating parts plus spindle, steering knuckles, king pins, etc. The rotating mass is only increased on the front axle. The rears will loose some weight since one super single wheel/tire still weights less than two std. 9.00x20s.
Time will tell if the outer bearings have to be replaced more often....

Shouldn't be much of a problem, specially for most of us who only use our trucks for light duty work.houdel said:
