Not knocking your suggestion for 395's, but never had a 14.00 rub on an 936A1, or A2.

Jeff is right. The radius gives you the height and the circumference gives you the MPH. (less rotations per mile)

Frogman hope you ate your Wheaties those 16.00 weigh in at around 650 lbs on 939 combat rims and 800 lbs on hemmet rims. They look cool but I can't see myself changing one by myself and I have put a 14.00 up on the back deck of a wrecker by hand, no boom.
I think I dropped a nut just reading that

I have had the 1600s I didnt think they were that heavy. The wrecker is more stable on duals than singles I think it would be unsafe on 1600s the center of gravity would just be too high.

Best picture I have, but they rub. I'm missing some paint in my wheel wells, and the bolts that hold the fenders on cut my tires.

So the jury's decision is to swap to 395's on what wheels?

They will fit the standard 2 piece 5 ton combat wheels, hemett, or fmtv rims all bolt up fine.

I have 14R20's on my M936A1 wrecker. As for driving it is a pleasure but on the hills bogs down pretty slooooww...the 14's are 49" tall and the stock 11R20's are 42" tall. Mine will go anywhere off-road and I don't worry about debris sticking between duals. The 395's are 46" tall and probably a fair compromise. I've got 7 of the 395's NOS stashed in combat wheels waiting for my 14's Michelin XL's to wear out. Go with the 395R20 Michelin XZL's all around, you won't be disappointed.
