Yes, there is a difference. If you have looked at several hundred, it is
easy to identify, if you've only looked at few hundred, it is not!
If you attempt to "dual up" the single wheel, the sidewalls of the tires rub
even without a load. Probably have a book around here somewhere with offset
dimension...I will try to find it. Basically look at area where lug nuts
go...if it sticks out substantially further than where tire bead rests, then
it is the dual wheel...if in about the same plane, then it is single wheel
tire. And just because the M34 vanished some time ago doesn't mean wheels
aren't still in current use...some trailers have the "single" wheel.
Of course we could have long discussion about bolted "combat" wheels, riveted
wheels, welded wheels and heavy wheels, without even touching on CTIS wheels!!
Will look for offset dimension.
