Jerry,
I don't have my PS mounted yet but I'm pretty sure you can make it work.
It may require building new hoses & running steel lines just like pigtails to get tire clearance...do you know what I mean?
Mine look like they need replacing anyway so I'm going to mock it up soon & check it out.
Those tires are actually coming off & a set of XML's are going on. They're 44" & a little squarer.
I have a set of Unimog rims I planned to modify to run tubless but I just love the look of the Budd rim so I'm going to leave them. One thing I can tell you about the W500....rolling mass is not an issue....this thing stops so hard it's almost hard not to lock all the wheels on hard braking. I guess they are just designed to carry a big, big load.
Let me know if your hoses rub once your wheels arrive.
