Good evening,
I have a great M416 that recently developed tire deformation of the stock military tires. I was advised that going over 55 mph with it heavily loaded was the cause. Now rather than replacing them with more of the same and having to throttle my speed back I want to add Toyota wheels to match my tow rig and reducing my need to carry a second spare.
1) I was wondering if there were lug pattern conversion spacers?
2) Even if I can get the pattern converted via spacer are such spacers wide enough to step out the wheels enough to compensate for the large offset of The Toyota wheels or will it put too much stress and cause a failure off road.
3) Have the sinking feeling that to do this I am going to have to get a wider axle. Sure hope not cause this thing is already becoming a money pit.
4) And feel free to add in anything else I was not smart enough to ask in relation to this.
Is there anyone out there who has gone through this themselves that can offer insight and perhaps relevant supplier for needed supplies?
Thanks,
Greg
