The rim offset varies with the diameter in this case, the singles being
1100x20 and 5 1/8 the duals being 900x20 and 6 3/16. This is why you can't
dual up the single wheels. The difference in offset makes the tire sidewalls
rub if single type rims are dualed. There is no spacer (I was wrong in
previous post), the track is changed on both the G-742 and G-749 series by
reversing the hubs. Also differing between the single and dual wheel models
is the brake drum.
Sorry for any confusion my earlier post my have caused.
Hope this helps,
David Doyle
