Just an observation.
If you are not to concerned about front and rear wheel
tracking. i.e. having the front wheels and back line up straight.
Why not just remove all 8 rear wheels.
Have the tires taken off all wheels.
Mount your 4 , 11:00x20's.
First install the 4 empty wheels ( Rims only ), just
like you would for a dual wheel set up.
Then install your new tires and old wheels.
Don't forget to do the front.
I have seen this dual wheel / rim , single tire set up on
some hwy. trailer lift axles and some hwy. tractor pusher or
tag axles.
Now sitting back, waiting to be corrected, usually by Ram 8-)).

Howdy List!
I have a1972 AM General M35A2C w/w that has 11:00X20 Super
Singles. The Super Singles have better off road performance,
and they are much better on the highway! The conversion is fairly
easy and has already been explained. It is worth the trouble to
convert!
Longhunter7 out!
