M923A2 16R20 Tire Conversion

[brock]

Hi Everyone!

I am thinking about converting from 14R20 to 16R20 tires on my 923A2.

There are some for sale near me for $200 each and they appear to be in great condition/nearly new.

Can I simply swap the 16R20 tires onto my stock wheels? If so, will my CTIS still work? How will my already terrible turning radius affected?

I realize this question has probably been asked so if there is a thread that answers this please post in reply.

Thank you!!

Rim size the same
There will be very little clearance between bogey tires
Ctis I believe would still work
Turn radius should still suck
Truck will go faster
Speedo would be off
Would suck even more to change tire
Spare might not fit rack

Here is a pic of 14.00 to 16.00 comparison. You can see there is very minimal clearance between the tires and much flex will push it into the bed. The tires will scrub on the pitman arm and the hydraulic cylinder shield. The best way to fix this is to turn the bump stops in a little, so you will loose a little turning radius. CTIS, I'm not sure about as I removed it when I swapped the tires.

CTIS works fine if it was working before

HEMETT wheels will avoid rubbing on the pitman arm, the offset sets the track wider on the front wheels.
