Tire Questions

[CapHap]

Hey guys. My 818 is running 12.00 20's right now. The steers are starting to wear pretty bad, I found some 14.00 20's but can I still run duals with the 14.00's? Or will they rub? Anybody made a spacer for the rear or put in longer wheel studs? I like the taller tire but don't want to sacrifice my rear duals.
Thanks

Bias?

I think so. They are the old stop skid tires that I see on all the older trucks. My dad called em "bar tread" if that helps.

Those will be bias ply tires. Radials will do much better.

NO, will NOT WORK, will rub BAD on the inside, REQUIRES SPACERS and SPECIAL studs with both the front and rears to use, will be OVER WIDTH by about a foot, the tire WILL stick out past the fuel tanks, also will make the hole between 3rd and 4th a lot deeper.

In another words, NOT A GOOD IDEA, I was going to do this on the M819 (OE 1200s) for your same reasons, did not happen because of the above reasons.

I think the bridge truck wheels and spacers allow dual 14.00's correct? or you could go to the newer 11R20 goodyears like the 923's have
