I'm sorry, I don't understand your question.

Correct there was an A3 guy mudding up the thread a bit. I only say that because of the wheel questions not just tire sizes. This is great info and useful as I'm starting to look at tires after I move so I have a second set.

Here is a 450/80/r20 for comparison. Sorry, sitting next to a deuce, my tire comparison sitting next to 14.00 on the 931 seems to have went to computer never-land. The 450 is the same OD as the 14.00 but is 16" wide. That's a 14.00 NDCC.
I had to look those tires up! Pretty cool didnt know that option existed. Some of our beet trucks could use those

I am so far impressed with the 395 XZL's I put on my truck. Did about 2000 miles with them this past week and they rode great. pulled better on hills. Not as much front tandem hop as the 14.00s had.

Mich specs say they go on an 11" wide wheel. Not sure how you could run them dualled up. They look spec wise like a 12.5R20 XL that were run on the unimogs.

Are those some kind of striker wheel?
MRAP Maxx Pro Plus. They are just a reversed stud beadlock. The nuts face to the inside with a flat face. I actually came across the 10 and 12 wide ones on the yard that has the wreckers on them. Im assuming they are for heavier loads.

What kind of bolt pattern are the wheels? Where did you find them?

They are the only mrap wheels that will fit on a 5 ton. Feltz has them as well as the guy in Bells, TX that is on ebay.

If I recall, they are thick aluminum. Check out the stud length and diameter.

Here is a potential spacer made from DOM tube. With longer stud, a spacer like it could be the gap filler, 1" to 9/16".

Pics of my rim project included which is similarly hub centered.

I would guess that duals would be close (or over) the legal limit. What would be their equal revs per mile, in a super single for the front? Edit...it appears 14.00 (from your pics)

An 817 would be sweet with them.

The maxxpro plus uses a 395 up front with the 12.00s in the rear. They are within 1 inch of each other overall. With dual 12.00s you are not overwidth. It doesnt stick out any further than the 395 singles do.
