deuce rim offset problem

[LiveFreeOrDieTryn2B]

Ok I have an M105A3 bed 49" tires 10" wide and stock rims will not work backspace is to much around 4" to 6" of the tire are under the bed what are my rim options?

My hubs are flipped any advice should I flip them back?

 

[welldigger]

Can you post a picture? I think I know what your trying to ask but I need a visual to be sure. I have also wanted to see a bobber with a m105 a3 bed.

I dont have any till tomorrow but the inside fender is to shallow with hubs flipped so tire wont clear.

Picture found on the net in 2010.

I think the OP's set up is the opposite of the pic above. His hubs are flipped and he is running the wheel in the same configuration as the front wheel.

On my bobbed truck I ran the stock dual set up and didn't have any problems with the inner tire and the fenderwell. ( but that was stock 9 x20 tires also)
you could cut and move the inner wall of the fenderwell pretty easily but at a loss of bed space.

The pic is a reply to the OP's question in post #2 and to Welldiggers post wanting to see a Bobb'd deuce with a M105A3 bed. The pic serves both.

Thanks 11echo. Would there happen to be one more from the rear?

I guess my next question would be for the trailer gurus out there. Is the m105a3 fender wells wider than the m105a2 inner fender wells? I know the beds are different dimensions from each other. I just don't know how different. If the fender wells are spread too far apart on the m105 a3 then you may want to consider tubbing the fender wells. It shouldn't be very hard since everything is flat sheet metal. Though, I'm just guessing at that right now.

Yes my hubs are flipped and I am using stock rims with 14.00 20 nato tires the wheel wells against the bed are not deep enough. Heres a pic of where bed rests.

I wonder I ll have to flip hubs back? I haven't seen any rims that have that much offset but could be wrong.

 

[welldigger]

I can tell you that typically stock wheels are the completely wrong offset when using the bigger radials. An mrap wheel with the adapter plate on the back of the wheel would push the tire out considerably compared to a stock wheel.

I wonder what I can do for now can I flip rim with my hub already flipped safely? I am tapped out in the finance department and fixxn to graduate from sleeping on the couch to sleeping in my truck LOL.

 

[LiveFreeOrDieTryn2B]

If not will I get that much by flipping the hubs and rims as the pic above those look like 395s my tires are narrower.

How about one from the almost front!

 

[LiveFreeOrDieTryn2B]

I am assuming flip them back is that what you are saying Mr Mcgill and I talked about cutting the fenders but I dont want to cut if I dont have to.

 

[TsgtB]

Finding better wheels with the backspace, to single out AND be "dish out" on non flipped rear hubs....
Giving clearance for fronts not to rub on hard turns.
IS the MRAP with adapters the best choice we have to date...?

M105a2 trailer bed internal dimensions are 108.0" long x 74.0" wide. The distance between wheel wells is approximately 58"


The M105a3 is bed is 108" long and 74" wide. The distance between wheel wells was increased to 65".

So what should I do until I can afford rims flip hubs back?

Try and locate some M34 wheels.

I think that if you flip you hubs back to original it will be worse. The reason folks flip their hubs in the first place is to make a single sit out farther from the frame to be more inline with the fronts.
Only way is to change beds, cut out wheel wells of present bed, different tires or for short term run your wheels dish out. Not sure if a M34 wheel would work with as much tire you show as being in the way.
