Anybody use a 395/85/20 tire size on combat rims?

[PowerstrokeNC]

Has anybody done this? I know this size has been used on 2 1/2 tons but was curious if anybody had done this on a 5 ton? How was the top speed affected?

Also has anybody been successful using the MRAP rim on a 5 ton?

Thanks for the help.

Yes they have been used, the top speed goes up when you install 395s on a truck that had 1100s and goes down on a truck that had 1400s. I don't believe the mrap rims work on a 5ton, but you might want to see what peashooter says.

Gimpy, thanks for the input, I would be coming off of 1400's so would hope not to lose too much top speed. If 60mph is still attainable that would be perfect.

I haven't driven them enough to be sure, but i doubt you'll lose 60. The nice thing is a tad more torque.

You need to take a look at Ke5eua's 818 build. He is right in the thick of this, and no the MRAP rims don't work.

I think it depends on the TYPE of Mrap wheel being used. I have a set of 20 bolt aluminum wheels from an mrap that look like they will work on my M925.
I do not know what variant these came from though.

I think his wheels are the 20 bolt wheels. Not sure though.

Here's mine with the 395's. I did not notice much top end mph loss. But it beats having to worry about only going 55mph like the 14's were rated for. I can run 62mph and not have to worry about the tires coming apart.

Truck looks good with them on! thanks for the pic.

Nice pics , and you can see out the back window now with the shorter spare tire

Whats the allowed speed rating on these tires?

they look good and fill the front wheel well quite well. doesn't look out of proportion.
