M923/925 on 16.00x20 tires?

[maddawg308]

Anyone have any pics of the 5-ton M923 or M925 on 16.00x20 HEMTT tires?

these are mounted on hemmit wheels so the front track is a little wider and the rear track is a little narrower

fyi, I have one brand new 1600 good year mounted on a hemmit rim for 250 if anyone is interested . pick up only northern NJ

How bad did it affect acceleration?
I was thinking about going to smaller tires, to affectively lower gear ratio and improve low end torque.

Nice looking truck!!!!

So, are you saying if you mount them on HEMTT rims the front axle width would be wider than the rear? How does that work going around corners?

Would it be better to mount them on standard 5-ton rims if it would be closer to original width?

The wheel off set is minor. It drives great, but the 1600's suck up some power. I like the hemtt rims better because the orings arent so fussy putting the rim back together ( the 5 ton rims dont hold the o ring real well and they pop out easier ,the hemtt rims are fool proof) I have big tires mounted on both types,either way is fine. The 5 ton rims are better if you dont already have super singles because the rim is much thinner and the lug lenth isnt an issue. Hemtt rims are much thicker.

I concur with Bolkbich. I have 1600s with HEMTT rims. The offset for the front is a little weird, the tires stick out about 3" past the fenders, but it drives just fine.

most vehicles are designed that way. A wider front track decreases the turning radius

Can you flip the rear hubs on a 900 like you do a deuce so the rears line up with the fronts?

 

[emr]

Just put em on, no flippin a 5 ton hubs, as for the wider track in front it would give a better turn radius and U will need it because I hear the turn radius is even alot worse with the 1600s, and they rub, and like said, these are no race trucks , a power drain is just not good to me, all up to the owner and cool for sure, but the 1400s are really the perfect tire for these trucks, full turn radius and still same power as duels to me,

 

[ivbeenrokd]

So is it actually possible to flip them on a 5 ton?

 

[pctrans]

I mounted stock combat rims on the front, and HEMTT's on the rear. Tracking is almost perfect and you don't end up throwing mud all over your fenders.

 

[5tontiny]

My rear hubs are flipped out an I have hemtt rims an I like the way my truck drives an as for power I thought it was way better on the road cruisin speed way better an thank u Pctrans for my rims by the way

Looks good

It looks like the 16.00's will rub the rear mudflap supports when the rear suspension is articulating. Am I wrong?

 

[emr]

U are right, they will cut down on turning radius and articulation, 1400s are the perfect match, But I was told on this site , tires are like boobys, the bigger the better, Guess I just like those a little smaller too I have to add for my taste the 14s are just right, but thats me,

I like big! I could build some supports for the rear that would be contoured out of the way, but the front hitting would be a problem. I guess it all depends on what I can find a deal on!
