395/85R20 tires for Deuce

[ToddJK]

Check with @007 He's north of you but may have some tires.

Thanks bud!

how do most of y'all get them?

I originally bought my set of 10 as surplus from the gov't. Later when I switched back to duallies, I sold them locally. I do see some from time to time on my local Craigslist. If you're not in a hurry you can build up a set over time, or keep an eye out here, in the classifieds or on CL for some near you. It took me over a year to sell mine so if you see an old ad, they might still be available.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye for that, I honestly didn't even think to look at CL or even FB marketplace for tires. I did get ahold of 007 and he's like 125 miles north of me and I'll be seeing him next week.

Those who have the 395's with combat rims and adapter plates,when y'all remove the tire, you guys just remove the 6 lug nuts from the Deuce's hub or do you remove the 10 bolts from the adapter plate? I was just going to remove the 6 lug nuts for now as 6 seems easier than 10 as long as I keep the reverse thread in mind for the driver side.

Has anyone with super singles that haven't flipped the hubs measured the distance to see how far off the track was between the front and rear? Thanks

The Deuce front axle measures 79" between wheel mounting flanges/hubs, while the rears (for duals) are 10" narrower.

Your "distance" depends on what wheels you mounted your 395s on. Like 10" wheels with a backspace of about 8", mounted (dished out) on non-flipped rear hubs, will give you roughly the same track width, front vs. rear.

I went with a 20x10 steel MRAP 2 piece wheel. I only ask because I like the look of the (dished out) option but wasn't sure how much of a difference there would be if I didn't flip the hubs

Only the 20-bolt MRAP steel wheels (with a 1/2" adapter plate) will pretty much line up, mounted that way.
This one:


But with the 12-bolt version - which have a backspace of about 11" - the difference is 3". Meaning, the track width at the rears would be 6" more than front.

Those are what I have for my MRAP setup but with 3/8" adapter plate
