dodge m500 beach cruiser
Hey all, I have a 1978 Champion Titan 27' on a dodge m500 chassis with the 440/727 drivetrain. I want to make this a beach cruiser, as in , into the sand dunes , no pavement beach cruiser. I live on cape cod and I know many people do this every year with their class a motorhomes, but I am concerned about my wheel /tire setup mostly. I have 8r19.5's all around with duallies on the rear and I am concerned with the width of the front tires (they are only like 6 inches wide) being too narrow and digging into the sand. I know the beach cops make sure you air down your tires to 18 psi to even get on the beach, but I was wondering if anyone knew how to swap out the front wheels for a set that would be better in the sand. I live like 5 minutes from the beach in question, so I would keep the 19.5s i have now for highway trips and use the wider tires/wheels all summer on the beach. Or maybe I should just stick with the wheels I have and stop looking for problems where there may not be any? anybody have any beach boondocking experience??? I would love to hear some wisdom!
