Yup, they're the same. We purchased new wheels for our deuce so that
we could 1)get away from split rims, and 2) go to tubeless radial tires.
Even dealing with a truck wheel warehouse, the _6_ lug rims for our
deuce still cost $167 each. (OUCH!!) By contrast, the _10_ lug wheels
on our 5 Ton Dump will only cost $65 each!! We're using Goodyear
10.00R20 on/off road mud-and-snow tires. Fairly aggressive tread (but
they don't howl as loud as the NDT's 8-)). They're also taller than
stock, so we pick up almost 2mph! YEEHAW!! We can do an honest
60mph now, uphill _and_ down. 8-D Only thing I'd do differently, is
go to 11.00R20's. There's plenty of room between the tires, and man,
talk about impressive!
