    F450 converted to 37” super singles

    Sorry... correction 10.75” on Conti and 12” on Goodyear. Still a considerable difference since they are the “same” size tire. I personally prefer tall and skinny so I like the Conti MPT-81 tire. I like the XZL too but prefer the Conti. I run the 335 Goodyear on an armored Kodiak but only...

    F450 converted to 37” super singles

    Yes... 450/550 and dodge 4500/5500 all have the same 10x225 bolt pattern. These are bolt together style but with the LT bead you can have a tire shop mount/dismount like a conventional wheel if you dont run beadlocks interesting trivia about the goodyear vs conti 335 tires. They are the same...

    F450 converted to 37” super singles

    Just put one of the factory 19.5” F450 tires and aluminum wheels on a scale. 108# so 216# per side for duals on the back. 65# weight savings per side for the rear axle when converting to super singles

    F450 converted to 37” super singles

    Just put them on yesterday. Been working on getting these made since September. Has been a long process. More info to come... I have 2 road trips towing a gooseneck coming up.... one heavy and one light. I scaled the tank load and it is under the single tire capacity on the rear axle.

    F450 converted to 37” super singles

    Charlie, the capacity depends on the bead type. Either 3970 with LT bead or 6770# with MPT bead. I went back and fourth with the engineers on this one. I wanted the full rating of the MPT on the LT But they would not do it. The only difference is 1/4” of height on the bead. So to be in...

    F450 converted to 37” super singles

    Another problem with the 20x11 wheels is how close they get to axle parts and you cant get between wheel and disc to remove mud. The 20x9 has plenty of room between axle components and the wheel. You can get between the disc and wheel with a sprayer to remove mud too

    F450 converted to 37” super singles

    Hello again Charlie. I put a LOT of time and money into researching the 20x9 Here is a 20x11 (black steel) and a 20x9 (aluminum) side by side. Both with the same 335s. The 20x9 pulls the side walls in just enough to protect the wheel.

    F450 converted to 37” super singles

    F450/550 Super single conversions are not new. But all use 20x11 wheels with beads that are MPT and not appropriate for LT truck tires. Most run the 335 (41”) continential MPT-81 tire. One of the main reasons I bought an F450 was for the widetrack front axle and how much tighter it steers...

    Finally!! Direct bolt 1 piece aluminum 20x10 super singles F450/F550

    Not missing anything. This project has many reasons that are driving the need/want. Some are functional reasons, others are purely personal preference and the last is my passion for a worthy project. 1. I prefer a tall skinny combination. The 20x10 will fit everything from a 33"to 41"+...
