I bought a set of singles off eBay yes I know Internet and tirespecially don't mix. Arrived today rims were plus 2. My question is can I run a plus 2 rim on my drivers with no I'll effects. I've searched and searched I've heard of bearing problems on trailers but they're mixed on the tractor side weather you can run them or not.
Super single question

I have 2 inch offset on truck and trailer. Actually we have 2 inch offset on all equipment. I can't say there's any issues with them. At least none that we've experienced. Dad has had them since 2006 if that helps any.
379exhd Thanks this. -
A friend of mine has some local silage haul trucks. They have larger offsets, run heavy, look retarded, have no bearing problems.
379exhd Thanks this. -
Thanks for the replies. My trailer has singles with 0 offset I don't know jack about singles I bought them to try and figured for what I paid I couldn't go wrong. I was just concerned when the rims showed up and I measured the offset that I would have problems if I ran them on my drivers.

Flipping the 2' off sets (valve stem in ) gives basically 1/2 offset. The 2 ' off set causes more axle flex. Not a issue with the heavier axles.
