Which side of Hutchinson 3-piece runflat faces out?

[Awesomeness]

These Hutchinson 3-piece runflats are asymmetric. The one side has a 1-2" nose on the center, and the other side is basically flat. Which way does that nose face? (I'm not talking about the additional rubber rings.)

 

[simp5782]

That little ridge is on both sides. It doesnt matter how it goes in. Even the older 3 pieces have that little jut out. The same thing as the rubber ones

 

[Awesomeness]

It's not even. When laying on one side, the large diameter of the runflat basically sits flush to the ground. When laying on the other side, it's up about 2".

Mine are even spaced on both sides. More than likely they were for the aluminum RG31 wheels. I believe the lip went towards the wheel face on the caiman aluminum wheels

By "toward the wheel face", am I understanding correctly that the long nose would face inward toward the axle?

 

[simp5782]

No. The wheel face for your outer part of the wheel you remove to remove the tire. The nose will face away from the truck on a LMTV wheel

Do you have the older LMTV wheel or the accuride wheels?

Thanks. How do I tell the wheels apart?

 

[simp5782]

Accurides will have a small hole in the area where the lug nuts go thru. They are also only tapered on one side. Being you have an old LMTV it is probably the standard wheel. The 4 wheels together are the standard wheels



There is a new type of aluminum wheel that is tapered and will fit a LMTV as well. They are starting to show up. Shown below

These are my rims. Looks like they are just the standard ones.

What's the torque for the nuts that hold the two halves of the rim together? I can't find it in the TM.

 

[simp5782]

Um till the impact gun stops. I've never torqued them and I have broken down and reassembled lots of wheels. It is on the face plate of some of the wheels. It is 210 to 240ftlbs. You are suppose to use new nuts on them as well

For future reference the lipped side is on the wheel face side

is their a run flat for the 14 R20's? or would it be same runflat?

does the runflat "replace" the inside beadlock ring?

395s and 1600s use the same composite runflats. Yes it has its own beadlock function

same for rubber run flats too?

 

[simp5782]

Yes

Bringing this post back from the dead. I am going to mount the 3 piece runflats on my front two tires on my MTVR.

1. Should I put additional lube in the tire, or none?
2. Where the composite pieces bolt together are letters A B C. Does the order matter?

Anyone know of a good source for these?

Back when I got mine off eBay, they could barely give them away. I think I paid like $40/ea, and shipping was free or cheap. I haven't seen them in a while, though.

You can ask Dustin at feltz if you can get em shipped from Texarkana. They break down all tires and wheels that leave from RRAD. the inserts just don't get shipped to Wisconsin with the tires/wheels
