You have to bolt the adapter to the other side of the rim. It moves it over about an inch to an inch and a half if I am remembering my numbers correctly
Thats kind of what I was thinking. With the adapters in the correct configuration it would push the front wheels out and pull the rear wheels in. I'm assuming at that point the track widths would be at the very least "close enough"
is the slightly different track width ever really a problem? My main "offroad" use would be soft sand beaches where cars make ruts all day so I was concerned about the different track widths act weird within those established "ruts".
It may wander a bit. The downside is the rear tires won't track in the front ruts. Figure out how far off it is.... Mine is about 3/4" per side iirc (different wheels)
Any reason you dont run spacers on the front wheels?
I don't want them poked out any more, and I like my wheel bearings, and dislike spacers on a heavy truck.
Good to know, thank you. 3/4 shouldnt be an issue on the sand. Are you running hutchinson MRAPs on your current rig?
I've heard good things about the buckstop setup but that route is much more expensive and theyre single piece wheels which doesn't give you the ability to swap a tire on the side of the road. Which certainly isn't something I ever want to do but it seems most people with serious miles under their expedition vehicles suggest bringing a pre assembled spare tire as well as 6th empty spare tire, so in the event of a flat you can use the preassemble #5 unit to quick swap and then use the 6th empty tire to replace the flat tire at your next stop.
No they are Hutchinson 19.5 wheel for the 550/5500 platforms
DRW?
Nope aluminum two piece like the mrap, just A 19.5 size and bead profile.
Hm, didnt know that was an option. What tires do you run?
