Since I used to drive dirt trucks with duals, the only problem I foresee is
when you overload the vehicle with the 11.oos. when duals are at max load
the tend to bulge. I loaded a Mack with 21 tons of bank run one day and
watched the tires scrub each other on the way to the job site ( NYS weight
limits were 15 ton w/o permit) I was a tad overweight. My concern was not
the "Ticket" but whether the tires would hold out.

Am I missing something here or why do you need to have the 4 empty rims on
the inside??? Why not just use the front lug nuts instead of the double
Budd nut things and run the single wheel just like the front does?? (but
facing out)
