395/85r20 duals???

[BlackNoma]

Please, by all means feel free to tell me it cannot be done... I have never seen it, but saw someone say that running 6 395's is possible...
I have been looking around at tons of different tire sizes and comparing 395's to 14.5r20's. Yes, the 14.5's are smaller dia. than the 395's and can be run as duals. The 395's are only 1" wider... can you run 395's as duals on the rear??? Or do they have to be run as singles?

Any and all info would be much appreciated! Also, any measurements of 5 ton 10-lug rims would be awesome! (lengths between studs/bolt pattern, inner diameter for hub fitting, etc...) I just picked up an IH S1824 and wondering if wheels are interchangeable...

Thank in advance guys!

Neither can be unless you buy custom rims with lots of offset.

The M123 runs duals but there 1400 24R . would likely be to wide for legal road use.

The M123 as well as the bridge truck 5 tons run dualed out "singles". I've not seen a M123 in person, but I know the 5 ton bridge trucks use spacers to get things to fit. And they're all overwidth.

Alright, thanks guys! Looks like I had everything off. Haha. So the tallest tires you can run on stock 5 ton wheels as duals are 11.00r20 (43"), yes?

Yes, unless you can find some 12.00r20 tires which are a little taller.

Okay, thanks guys!!!!!!

There was a post on here about 3 years ago with pictures of them on a truck.

But what does it cost to ship them to China?

Haha, I'm moving to Corpus Christi, Texas in a week and a half...

It should also be mentioned that the bridge truck setup was never designed to work with the CTIS, and it is unlikely that it could be adapted to do so.

 

[BlackNoma]

Could someone give me some info on the "bridge truck" setup? I can't seem to find much other than people talking about it and everyone knowing what that entails...
I appreciate it!

 

[patracy]

I can get some pics of a bridge truck if needed. The place I know of exports as well.

Why would the CTIS interfere? And I know that they make a dually setup for CTIS. Also why would it matter, most unhook the CTIS and that would only be on the A2s.

Pictures and specs of bridge truck would be nice!

I was thinking about this set up. Do you have to run 4 Bridge truck wheels on each rear axle or has anyone tried to run the bridge truck wheels on the inner wheels only? Leaving the outer set as the standard m939A1 and A2 5-ton wheels. This would only slightly increase the total width of the truck.

 

[Csm Davis]

I would think that the bridge truck wheels only have enough clearance between them if ran together and I think there is a spacer that goes on the hub before the wheels.

These are couple of pics I found of a bridge truck.

That's correct. Spacers on the rears and front axle.
