Tire Question

[swat435]

I was able to get 4 14R20 tires for my Departments APC. It currently has 11R20 Tires on the old style 5Ton Wheels. My question is will the 14r20's fit on the old style 5 ton wheels without any issues. The owner of the tire shop we purchase tires from told me they would work. Just looking for another opinion. Thanks

We will need to know what model APC. If it is a V-100, yes, they will fit.

Thanks for replying. I didn't explain my question very well. I just need an opinion about the larger tires fitting the slit ring rims the 800 series 5 ton ran with.

You would be better off using the two piece bolt together 5 ton rims with the super single tires.

Yes they will fit the wheels but like wm said you should look into the 5ton two piece wheels or even better the hemmet rims and also the runflats for either wheel as they will be very helpful in getting the truck in and out of a shoot out zone and most people don't use them in civilian world so they should be easy to get.

Thanks Csm Davis. We picked up our MRAP from your neck of the woods. I assume hemmet rims have the same 10 hole bolt pattern. We will be putting them on our Dragoon which is similar to a V150, just a different manufacturer.

For sure go with the rims described above. Using the wheels you have pictured could result in the tire being too close to the hull or tie rod, etc.

Yeah swat if I was setting up that I would use the hemmet wheels they're very thick and Goodyear 14.00s they have thicker sidewalls might need to play with the different run flats to get one that works with that setup.
