I wanted the new super duals for the back of HUGGY but could not find one tall enough and a stud centered rim was non existent.


Think it would have looked cool though.

A good machine shop could convert a hub piloted rim to stud centered . . .
- OR - Better yet, convert your hubs to accept Hub Piloted wheels.

After all, it's only money . . . . and vanity . . . . .  ;D

Super singles are for the drive and trailers only nothing runs the 445 super single on the front the wide tires you see on the front steers like on Prevost and trucks are 385's I saw a H3-45 with super singles on the drives and wide 385's on the steer and tag it looked sharp

I prefer the look of the deep dish duals over the super single - especially when the tag is mounted like an outside dual.

So glad I had choices . . . .  ;D  8)

I really want to experiment inverting my tag so it's deep dish out. But I think it would stick out past the out drive duel :(

You need to be careful Scott,wheels and hubs are design to distribute the loads evenly over the bearing surface.It took the truck manufactures a couple of years to figure out why the super single tire caused so many bearing failures when changed over from the dual wheels fwiw.I never change the inset or offset on wheels from the OEM spec JMW

True. There's definitely going to be a greater amount of lateral stress on the bearing when's wheel is stuck further out...how much added stress? I'm sure someone has a formula. For so many inches further out, so many more lbs per square inch pressure placed on bearing???

You'd have to change hubs, studs, and brake drums as well.
