MRAP wheels not fitting up front

[Hummer Guy]

I'm installing the 20 inch MRAP hutchinson wheels with the adapter plate, but both of the front wheels are rubbing, I have my adapter plate dish inside of the wheel, can someone please tell me what Im doing wrong. I've seen a ton of people use these wheels, check out the pictures.

This should answer your question...

Looks like the exact same setup I have, I have no clue why my wheels is scrapping on the front. Do you have anything spacing the front wheels out besides the adapter?

 

[Hummer Guy]

Yep, I'm lost, I've research for the pass 2 hours and haven't seen anyone else have this issue. After looking at the truck from up front, the tires does look a bit more sucked in than they should be, maybe these ain't the right wheels for the front? I'm clueless

 

[Hummer Guy]

I think I've figured it out, these are all dually MRAP wheels, does anyone know if I can just turn the front wheels around and run them or would I have to get another set of 2 wheels for the front?

That....

Feltz has the (correct) 12-bolt steel wheels at $50ea

20"x 10" w/ 10 x 335MM Lug Pattern Steel MRAP Wheel (12-Bolt)

These 20" x 10" steel MRAP wheels have a 10 x 335mm lug pattern with a 281mm pilot hole/center bore (or about 11.14"). They have been previously used and mounted on tires, and as a result may have light gouges around the center hub from prior mounting, as well as scuffs in the paint and surface...

They'll still rub with the wheels being turn around or would it just limit my turning radius? I really would hate to ditch these aluminum wheels on the side for the steel ones.

They look like Maxxpro wheels, but not the 8.25” bolt circle I thought the Maxxpro’s had? Are they aluminum, and what size tires do you have mounted on them?

Yea they're aluminum, I have the 395/85r20 tire on them

Problem is you got the wrong wheels, with too much backspace .
If you really wanted aluminum, you need this one:

20×10 Hutchinson MRAP | Military Tires

MRAP M1248m CMTV Caiman Multi Theater Vehicle BAE Caiman II Caiman 2 Aluminum Wheel / Rim with CTIS

Yea you're right, I try to turn it around and realize that won't work. The ones I have is fine in the rear right? I don't see it rubbing against anything

Depends.... Did you flip the hubs?
Maybe post a few pictures of the rears, installed.

I didn't flip the hubs, I can get some pictures behind of it today when the rain slows down a bit but I took these yesterday

The stance looks perfect. If I’m seeing your pictures correctly, it looks as if your tie-rods are just barely rubbing the wheels? Maybe you could have spacer rings cut to go between the adapters and wheels, or trade someone with thicker adapters? How thick are yours? I can measure mine late this week.

I'll have to check, they're not that thick, but I don't think spacers would work since the studs are short. The tie rods are barely rubbing but it's rubbing enough to eat the wheel if you move the truck.

 

[Hummer Guy]

Is there any wheel spacers on the market available for the rockwell axles? It seems like a spacer would be all I need for nothing to rub

 

[Hummer Guy]

Wheel Studs | MV Parts Store, for all your Military Truck Parts (mvpartstore.com) Seems like I can extend the studs with these and run spacers to space out the wheels from hitting the tie rods

 

[Jbulach]

I was thinking a ring with the same OD as your adapter, same ID as the MRAP wheel bore, with the 10 bolt holes in them. That way no interference or extra stress on the studs.
