Progress!! If anyone else wants to remove vinyl glue, use Rapid Remover. It's amazing.

Mines still at the upfitter. Has about 4 hrs work to do that he has been saying he'll get to every day for the last 3 weeks. I'm ok waiting as long as wait time is reflected in the final price!

Yeah I know how that goes. Everyone is slammed busy.

Got an appointment to do up pipes. That is painfully expensive.

Tech Help Time!

OK so the new wheels appear to be designed as singles, The centers are 1" thick, there is only 1" of lip at the centerbore on the axle. And the the studs would need to take the loads for them as duals.

Thoughts?

Those studs cannot handle the load of the wheel.

That was my thinking too. Just wanted to doulbe check. I guess I am running singles!

they are all installed. They are heavy. I will not be lifting one up the back door without some sort of mechanism.

If anyone else buys a set of these LMK, I have ones I will sell off for spares! :D

Is the capacity conducive for just running single??? I would be a little concerned about that bit... I had to search quite a bit to find the right tire/wheel combination for my own application to be within factory 'max' rated specs.

How do they track as singles? How is the fit for turning in the front? Guess you have 3 extra?
Haven't driven it yet! But the front tire splits half the tread on the back, just like OE.

Front will need some clearancing. It's dark, not happening tonight. Don't turn sharp. Looks mostly in the inner rear fender area. And maybe where the fender and bumper are attached needs to get hacked
Yep, 3 extra....

When I chatted with the fella at Canadian Rockwell about the MRAP wheels he said they mount that inner either on the inside, or the outside of the rim to adjust track. Could you do that with the rear to get them to track closer to the front if desired?
