Did you look in the TM's ?What is the stock tire size for the M883? I looked in the door jams and all over the truck but see no sign of what the stock tires were. Need to know so I can accurately figure my mileage (running 36" HMMWV tires currently). Thanks in advance.
Loaded radius of a BFG size 9.50R16.5 tire: 14.5"........... its now sits about 2 inches higher than it did before. ............
Ford has several different width rims depending on the year and factory tire size..Nothing, standing them side by side comparing old rim and tire to new rim and tire there was a 2 inch difference in height.
The Ford rims also are 7 inch wide, original rims were 6.5 inches wide.
maybe something to do with original tires being 8 ply and replacements being 10 ply.
