I need info on V100 wheels compared to M35 wheels. I have a guy that wants some of the HEMTT beadlocks that I recenter for the deuce and I see that they have the same bolt pattern and I think the axles are the same width as well?

Any help would be great!

V-100 wheels are for 14:00x20 tires, have a centered offset, and the same bolt pattern as the M35. They are also made of unobtainium.

I believe the axles are a tad wider. Try one of the ones you have already done on it. Charge for your time, but not too much, don't want to run him off right away!

The V-100 wheels are 10"w x 20" as are the 5t super single combat rims , or HEMTT rims. They might would work if you re-centered them. Someone else here was doing this for a deuce and half application.

I have a set of V-150 wheels (not shown/not for sale) that had their 10 holes(and center) welded up and then machined down. They have ~10-1/2" backspacing. The V-150 used 5t axles.

The V uses a 9-1/4" backspacing wheel (mounting surface to back edge of lip). They have the std 6 bolt deuce pattern w/same 6-1/2" center hole. The V may be able to gain an inch of backspacing but not much more as the rear tires will get too close to vertical hull surface. The could probably loose a few inches w/o problems(?).

The V wheels locking rings have larger lips and flanges (than std 5t wheels for 1100x20 tires). I would guess the Supersingle and HEMTT wheels also have the larger lips because they are using 1400x20's. I was told the std 5t locking ring works on the V wheels even though the channel in wheel is wider. That wide channel can be seen in the last picture. The other side of the rim (inside) has a wide band to accommodate the channel.

You might also be able to use the M35A3 wheel. They are wide enough. I am not sure what backspacing those have but they look close.

Whats the word, can you do the 9 1/2" backspacing? I just got my set of spare rims for the V100 out to get them powdercoated, and while cleaning them up found that they are actually 21x10's! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!!:evil:

Now I need another set of rims...

Cheers
