Tire size increase experience requested.

Please share any experience when upgrading from 500-5 to the 380 x150 x 5 (15/600-5). What changes to the wheel, brakes, wheel pants were required to make the larger tire funtion properly? We know that new installations of the larger tires works well with Vans pressure recovery wheel pants. How much work was it to change a flying RV over to the larger tires?

As someone who used the 380 x150 x 5 from the outset, I suspect you're not asking me

However, I am 99% sure you will find the changes will be solely in the "wheel pants". The wheels and brakes are unchanged in installation...
