M35A3 Rims on a M35A2???

[billystuart]

Help, will the rims for a M35A3 work on a M35A2, and also what size tires can I use? This is my first truck and I have a lot to learn. I have purchased the M35 cd of E-Bay and it helps a lot. But there are questions books or cd's can answer.

Thanks

The standard tire size for the A3 is 14.5R 20

You could have saved the money spent on the CD and just did some reading here:The Deuce - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

I did a lot of reading here. One of the members, I can't remember who, suggested the cd on e-bay for $5.00. I believe it was made by a member of SS. Now I have the best of both worlds. Thanks for your help.

The A3 rim is made for the LPT style tires. I know some people say you can run regular tires on them, but when I went to put a 395 on one, it looked goofy. I wouldn't do it, others might.

Billy,

Sorry if this sounds like i am no help... But i know people have done it. Sorry i dont know how to do it. I can help you out with the wheels if you need some good ones the A3 ones that is. I have brand new ones that i got a year ago and are in perfect condition factory fresh.

The A3 rims will work fine on the A2 - IF you flip the rear hubs. The lug holes on the A3 wheels are not chamfered on both sides to be reversed on the rear laxles like the 900 series combat wheels.

Gimpyrob , could you explain in more detail . Is it the bead style of the tires . I would think that 395's would be the same as 14.5's other than the width . I just bought an A3 and do not like the way the 14.5's look like they are tucked inside the bed and fenders to far. I was wanting to put 395's on my A3 .

I wish I had my camera with me at the time to show you. Also, its mpt not lpt. A quick search should bring up LOTS of info.

I am seriously considering springing for A3 rims and running 14.5r20s on it...i just love the look of those a3 wheel covers

 

[DEVILDOC]

So you can run them with 395's , but do you need to flip hubb,I would like to run 395 but don't want to flip hubs is this doable ,

 

[patracy]

Yes you have to flip the hubs to run A3 wheels like I mentioned in your other thread.

There is a writeup somewhere on here (on how to flip hubs)....try doing a search. If you can't find it, someone here will chime in. The search function can be a little strange at times.

Thanks guy that helps alot

395's on a3 wheels coming soon. First I have to get the wheels powder coated flat black. Then order some tires. Then maybe my truck will hang in with traffic.

 

[TxFireDeuce]

Also will the a2 tires go on the a3 without the flip
