M416 with 35's

[Gary crouch]

Any pictures out there? I'm building one and my rig has 35's would like to use the same so I only have to carry one spare. Question is....do 35's work? Do they look to outa place? Any thoughts I would appreciate.

Dumb question....but does any one ever get flats on these trailers?. Is really worth the brain damage to carry a spare?

I have 35s on my M100 and 34s on my M416. they fit and look fine. Require an SOA of course.

With 33's on mine, I'd recommend either the, soa or new fenders. Fenders are my biggest issue. Start from scratch and make new ones! They aren't complicated, a bend here a bend there, they are done. Guaranteed a sheet metal shop near you would shove them into a press and bend them for next to nothing if you had the bends marked on some sheet metal.

If I had to do it all over again, I would have moved my mounts and made new fenders or fabbed fenders to sit in the old mounts(with spacers) but much longer front to back.

I swapped axles, so my rig and trailer run a single spare.

There you go, that's my 2 cents.

Match the trailer wheel/tire to the tow rig and you can use your truck's existing spare on the trailer.

Otherwise you should probably carry one or at least a good tire repair kit and tube to limp home.

Depends... Just driving around town is one thing, getting stuck short one tire way out in B.F.E. is quite another. Better to have and not want than want and not have.

Also, in a pinch I'd rather leave the trailer behind than the whole rig. In the wrong place you might come back to this...

Maybe this example is a bit dramatic, but it's a valid point.
