M35A3 Rim Photo Please

[Joaquin Suave]

Could one of you fine folks post up a picture of the rims size nomenclature on a M35A3 Rim???
I drove to Barstow on Friday and bought 5 rims that I thought were correct. when i got home I realised they were 20 x 7.5 .
I need the picture to show the seller what the correct rim should be.
Thanks in advance!

The wheel is "Wheels are two-piece Motorwheel 20 x 11.00." Here ia a .pdf of the -24p wheel page. Wayne

There are pics in the classified section of this site of both the A3 wheels and the narrower Canadian deuce wheels, there are also comparison pics in the Deuce or Deuce modifiction forums, have to do a search to bring them up.

See my post #36 here: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/9227-m35a3-wheel-4.html
(Took that picture myself at Barstow's!)

Thanks guys. The photo that I need is like this one I shot of the "wrong" rims.

 

[Bob H]

the pdf posted above clearly shows what an A3 rim is and leaves no room for question.
The pic posted by the OP shows what looks like a std deuce rim, yet since it doesn't show the whole rim, it's hard to say.
here is the link to the pic in the classifieds, that I had suggested you search for.

Here is a picture of 4 of the 5 wheels. Not having first hand experience with M35A3 rims...I drove 250 mile home with the wrong thing.

They looked correct...Bwaaaaaaa!

I am not an expert, but are those WWII CCKW combat rims?
If so they may be worth more than A3 rims.

So did you buy a deuce?

 

[Joaquin Suave]

So did you buy a deuce?

No, these are for putting the MPT-81's that i got from Ecoroamer Jay on to Casa Azul.
Nice to see you here...You won't be seeing much of me "over there" anymore...Too much inbreeding.

Just went out to take a pic of my rim. It doesn't have that measurement on it anywhere, unless it is behind the CTIS or CTIS counter weight. All I could see was do not use inner tube, do not remove wheel nuts while inflated, max weight 4000lbs, etc.

 

[jesusgatos]

Wow. Those wheels are only rated for 4000lbs? That sucks. What are the regular old deuce wheels rated for. Only curious because I just finished rebuilding mine, and my new tires are rated at a little over 7000lbs.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Thats still 24000lbs total with 6. You know how the military under-rates everything.

 

[lonegunman]

They look like they might work to single out an A2. Any thoughts on that idea?

 

[gimpyrobb]

Yup, they would work for that just fine. If your going to run 395s, you might want to hold out for a wider rim.

You're absolutely right, but the truck that the OP is going to mount them on is a 4x4.

I'm going to be running Conti 365/80's. the with between bead edges is 10 1/2"...do you think its worth giving it a try?

 

[jesusgatos]

What rim width does the tire mfg specify?

 

[Joaquin Suave]

I talked to Continental today and...No way!

I'm going to give it the weekend, then go about dealing with the seller to replace them with the right thing.

This on the A3 wheels?
Are the A3's lighter than the A2's? (trucks)
GL has the M35A3 w/o winch listed @ 13,900 and the w/winch @ 14,600
as my M36A2 w/winch is tagged at 15,750 lbs add the 10,000 highway load and the listed limits of the wheel are exceeded.
as the M35A3 is heavier than the A2, I'm sure the M36A3 is heavier than the M36A3.
M109A4 weight???

maybe that 4000lb rating is off road
