Tires and Flaps?

I just purchased a set of 1400x20 Good Year tires that I'm going to be installing on my stock M35a2 wheels. The M35a2 wheels currently have the 900x20's. This truck is going to be used at my farm so high speeds aren't a concern. What size tube and flap do I need to use to make these work? Thanks for your help- discipler

Flaps can be re-used, get 1400 tubes. Good luck if you ever need to break the tire down off the stock rim.

I just got 395's on my stock rims, they used 11x20 tubes for them and it worked.. Your tires have a larger diameter 49.5" vs. my 46.8" so to be safe I would use the 14's..

Not to mention 14.00's won't fit on a 6x6 without modifications. 395's are the biggest tire you can run on a stock deuce.

Yep, 1100X20's are a tight fit as it is....1400's?????? Me thinks the rear tires will mate!
I guess if you don't try you will never know.
I would be interested to know if it will work.

deuce rear axle spacing = 48"
+
1400R20's = 49"

= spead the tandums or get smaller tires

flaps to fit the wheels and tubes to fit the tires

so if it's a 1400 tire use a 1400 tube, not an 1100 tube, not a 900 tube..........
