11x20's fit mine as duallies. Some people say they will rub. mine
don't. There are apparently two depths of wheel offset? Best to
measure, see what you have for space, then consider.

The tire service guy said the same tubes and flaps can be used
for either size MIL NDT tire. He's been doing split rim truck
tires etc. for many years, so.. but then, there may be other
opinions/documents.

My hot water heater for the deuce was $250 new.. They don't
usually come with the mountinf brackets, but someone on the list
makes and sells them. Note the heaters may have differently
spaced mounting holes than the brackets, so you may need to drill
(simple).
