It took me about 6 hours to do it alone and **** near threw my back out in the process. 550 pounds is no joke let me tell ya.
so what I had to do Becuase I did not want to change studs,
first I started in the rear so I could have the inner and outter lug nuts
then I removed the fronts.
the next step was to cut the centers out of some old junk stock rims I had
the reason for cutting the centers out was to make a spacer for the front tires. The front studs are not long enough for the HEMTT wheels.
after making the spacers I put them on the front hubs so you have an even mounting surface for the rear inner lug nuts.
now that the spacers are on I used the rear inner lug nuts to hold the spacer on and give me some more stud for the lug nuts.
then I installed the front tires and put the rear outter lug nuts on to hold the tire.
now I installed the rear tires using the front lug nuts in the rear. I did have to go buy 20 new lug nuts but at 1.50 a piece it wasent that bad.
Now ow I have a 5ton with curb appeal and will do a solid 80 mph down the highway getting 10 mpg !!!
they are the 16.00r20 sorry for the confusion.
