Tire sizes are 395 85R20 are 46in, 1400R20 are 49in, 1600r20 are 53in.

You need 20x10 combat wheels found on 5 tons and FMTVs

With as top heavy as those things are it's best to stay on duals. Maybe go to 1200R20 if you want to increase speed some.

Where in Mississippi are you located?

Tires are like new. Thanks for the advise on it being to top heavy. But if I do decide to go with the singles, are you talking about the budds wheels? I like the look, plus mud does not get trapped in the singles like it does in the duals.

5 ton and FMTV combat wheels are all budd. You simply need 20 right hand and 20 left hand lug nuts like the front has.

If you are in south Mississippi @Csm Davis is in Hattiesburg and has wheels and tires I'm sure.

My old M54A1 looks a lot better with SS, and hands down it works better offroad out here. Duals just get stuck in sand, even with the air let down.

I flipped the rear hubs for a uniform look. I think the stance is a bit wider than with the old 11.00-20 duals.

Super single is a relative term

You can run 365/80/20, 365/85/20 these are the odd ball sizes found on trailers and some trucks like MRAP variants.

Generally trucks run 395 85R20, 46in, 14.00R20, 49in, or 1600R20, 53in, with 395s being the cheapest and most abundant. 1600s being abundant but the largest. With 1400s being near obsolete, available but expensive.

395s will increase you by 6 to 8mph over your 11.00R20s 1400s will go 4mph over that. 53s will be 7 to 9mph over that.

Jeepers calculations website can let you plug in to get your RPMs
