Im looking into getting some custom made rims for my m715, because there is no place local that will touch the military safety split rims and I dont want to get in a bind someplace. Im curious about what size combinations I can run. Im running stock lift and axels but 16 inch tires are only so big and are kinda skinny.
Do you have a Les Schwab locally? I have them work on my stock M715 tires.
Yes they said they will not do them. I even tried my local good year and they will no longer touch them.
Have you checked a local farm store that does tires? A local big rig shop?
The rims are not split rims. it's a 2 piece rim.

This and the inserted link helps explain it out, and the older link still has photos even though its photobucket, amazingly enough.
Thanks I also came across this and I tried to explain it to them but they wouldn't hear it
I guess I'm lucky there are a lot of farms out here with old farm trucks so the local Les Schwabs will do mine. I have the tools and knowledge to do my own tires but busting them down is a young mans game.
I totally agree with that statement.Quote:

Thanks I never thought of them ill go contact them thanks
Big rig & large truck tire service shops will do them especially if they have a road or delivery service. I used to get mine done at a local A-OK tire shop. They worked around town on all kinds of large trucks. They even had a split ring cage in the shop on the floor. Big rig shops will also reline your brake pads for you.

Without lift...you can go about 12 inches wide with 38 inch tires...you will get just a little nubba nubba noise from rubbing at full turn.
I have seen everything on these trucks up to 52 inch tires and anywhere from 15 to 22.5 rims...I think one guy actually got 24's made for his even...but 15, 16, 16.5, 17, 19.5, 20 and 22.5 I know have been done...of course lift may be involved!!
