Are the LMTV wheels exactly the same as 900 series wheels? What else?

No. Different O ring sizes. Lots more beadlock nuts. LMTV wheels are only tapered on one side as well. 5 ton combat wheels are tapered on both sides.

Well that is why I asked!! My LMTV wheels, all of them, are tapered on both sides and take a 3/8" x 20 O ring. They all also have 1/16" run out so the stud circle is off to one side by 1/32. Getting ready to correct them.

Some of the old original wheels are tapered on both sides. most you run across now are not. They have weak wheel faces unfortunately.

No. Was used on a 5 ton. From a few years ago.

Some are dual tapered. Some aren't. Just depends on the wheel. I know for sure that accurides are only tapered on 1 side
