Howdy folks. Figured I would share some pics of my latest project. I wanted to mount my stock steel wheels on my M416. This would accomplish two things. It would allow me to replace the old NDT tires that had developed a vibration at highway speeds, and would allow me to share a spare between the truck and trailer.
I ended up ordering hub adapters from Adapt-It to make the bolt patterns match. The lugs on the stock hub had to be cut down to allow the wheels to mount flush to the adapter. That was really the hardest part of the project.
Was able to source two used Michelin LTX M/S for a grand total of $90 installed. Went with 265/60-18 to preserve clearance between the tires and fenders. Would prefer an AT or MT tread for aesthetics, but couldn't find any used.
Took it out for a test drive this morning. Pulls like a dream! Initial tire pressure is 30 psi. Open to any suggestions on pressure.
