Dish Out

[Varyag]

I am getting ready to single out my Deuce and hate the look of the flipped hubs and the rears not dished out.

Is there any neg to not flipping the hubs and dishing the wheels in? I see the guys running 395 running like this all the time and can't figure out why it would be bad for the truck.

Really I just need to find 4 more g286s but they are like hen's teeth out here.

no it wont hurt a thing. Some say bearing pressure (I did in the past) but no one has seen adverse effects from doing so.

If you were dish out and carrying the max load for a while, I'm sure you'd have bearing problems, or at least you'd have to replace them sooner. But under normal conditions, you're good.

That's good to hear. Now to get my tires mounted.

If you hate the look of the truck with flipped hubs from the side, wait till you see what it looks like from the rear with un-flipped hubs and single tires. I bet you wont like it. It looks even worse.

I have my hubs flipped.. Would i do it again?NO .When offroading with the hubs flipped it is really easy to damage the mud flaps and fuel tank ..The outer tire does a great job of protecting things with duals or just running the outer with singles..Although there are a couple negative things about running it like that.First possible overloading the bearings,Second with 395-15.5s the tires will hit the bed at full flex which they don't with the hubs flipped..

My off roading consists mainly of going to the dump here in town to drop off chopped up trees and brush with the occasional field or unimproved road. I don't ever do anything to articulate out my rears.

What it really comes down to is that I don't really have the time to do it and I plan on running duals as soon as I find more tires. These are rated for far more then I will ever load in my truck so I think they would be fine singled out. The most I have ever had loaded in the truck is about 5000 lbs and that was on roads.

I really appreciate all the fast responses. This is such a great site.

Not really sure why flipping the hubs would make a difference in this matter. All the hub flip does it move the tire in or out. The distance the tires will travel is the same.

I am running 395's with the recentered Hemmtt wheels. Mine have the place that you can bolt on and turn the wheels dish in or dish out. I am running mine dish out and haven't had any problems. The look from the side is alot better with the dish out and with it in. But like they said before the back does look a little funny but I'm not gonna be following my self on the road or the trail so if they dont like it behind me they can eat my dust. haha

Pretty much my thoughts Hooty.

How about some pics of the flipped finished product? Looking to flip mine dish out as well.

Here are a few of the NOT flipped hubs and the rims with the dish out. I will get some more pics in the morning(dark out now) and post them. What tm america was talking about is with the truck set up like mine you could get rub on the bed with full articulation(tomorrows pics will clear up the why) I know tm america's truck and me personally don't like the look with the hub flipped and the rim facing inwards, just my likes and dislikes.

Maybe tm america will post a few pics of how his looks for a comparison, if not I will try to go past this week and get some pics of his, I need to go over to get some stuff anyway.

Perfect! That is exactly what I want to do to mine. My truck has the hubs flipped out and the rims dished in, basically the exact opposite of your pics. I think it looks like its tip toeing or something, just not right. I have the reg M35 wheels and 43.5" firestone TA31's if that helps? Mine are def not as tall as yours.

So it seems the flip is straight forward, read a bunch of the threads on here about it. Hopefully I will get to it tommorow, but massive rain storm dumping on Fla right now... Thanks so much for the pics.

Get a shot from the rear straight on. Looks goofy as all get out, just my

Would guess he's talking about interference on articulation, which could easily be affected by the location of the tire (in/out).

As you can see from the first pic the tires are just wider than the bed so when they travel upwards they have a tenancy to rub on the bed side, the tire does miss if you are only sending up the one side at a time like side traversing but if the whole axle goes up it will make contact. From the front of the truck you can see they do stay out there a bit with the wider tires. I still think this looks better than the other way cause with the back in as far as the front tires are now it looks top tippy(kind of weird to me) Also the last pic is an older one I had that might show a little better what everyone is saying about it from the back(pic 2 might be better)

Ideally I would like to get the re-centered rims and get rid of this look(backs in a few more inches and the fronts out a few inches) THAT would look the best!!

 

[KsM715]

Mud flaps really help out the look. Without them, the brake drum outside of the wheel makes them look goofy.

 

[dmetalmiki]

heres an assymetrical set up..ALL in a line, ( fronts re-centered, (1200x20s))all my trucks are thus. (like all european and east block trucks)

 

[gringeltaube]

............ALL in a line......

Eh, are you really sure about that.....?
