Military Tires

[Blacklung]

Hi everyone. I'm new to this site but have some questions about running military tires on a superduty. I just picked up a set of 46" michelins and was wondering if anyone else has ever run a set of these on there truck. They will be going on my truck pictured below. Right now, i'm running 44" super swampers on a 12" lift. But my big question is: if any of you have run 46" military tires, what type/style of rim did you mount them on. I know they will fit on a 20x10" rim, but the bead is so big i was just wondering if they will fit on any standard rim. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. Here is my truck i'm hoping to mount them on:

I looked into the Michelin Military Truck tires for my Bronco Rockcrawler at one point but ended up passing on them due to 2 issues... They are way heavy and they are hard ( at the time ) to find wheels for...

Ya, i was a little bit concerned with the weight, but they are not too much heavier than the swampers on steel beadlocks. I found a pic of a duramax with 46" michelins on 20x10 Kmc Rockstars, but I don't know if they had to be custom made to hold the bead of the tires, since it's about 1-2" thick.

Yep those tires will snap the ball joints right out of that ffront housing. That's why I'm not running them on mine. Plus you need some serious gears to move the truck after that much tire size change

And yes they will fit standard rims

My trucks' held up pretty good so far running the 44" Swampers. The only problem I've had so far is a few broken wheel studs. And as far as gearing goes, I think my 4.88s can handle it.

Yep, they will run on standard alloys .... mine are on 20x9 actually ... Just regear, and build the truck right, you should be ok ....
