M35A2 wheel spacers

[Bloodmike]

I've been having an issue with my driver side front tire rubbing my steering control arm. It's only a problem with right hand turns, but it seems to be chewing up my inner tread of the tire. I have done my fair share of digging tiring to to find a solution. Does anyone have this issue? And if so what have been the remedies, I am trying to track down some wheel spacers that will offset the wheel by 2 inches or so. Any help would be apprectiated.

Good luck. Most guys that use the 395 on stock rims have that issue. About the only thing you can do is cut the center out of a stock rim and use that disk as a spacer. It will bolt on like duals would. Spacer, thimbles, rim with tire, thimble nut. It is possible to weld 2 stock rims together to get the correct 10" wide rim, but It takes a lot of time to do it.

adjust the steering stop and or get m-135 wheels (1" more offset)

Mike how about a thread on your truck, looked at your album and all i can say is WOW!

I would suggest upgrading to 2 piece combat wheels. They have the correct offset for large radials.

I've got a set of five of those wheels. Shoot me a PM if interested.

What about the m35a3 wheels, would they still rub with 395s or do they have more offset than a2 wheels?

A3 wheels work perfect on my truck. No rubbing issues that I have found.

The problem he is having is the offset of the stock rims. As stated, the 135 rims would help with the rubbing issue, but not fix the fact that he is using rims too small for the tires.

This link shows how close a stock rim is to the frame VS a Hemtt rim. Both tires are 395/85r20.
