I got a bunch of the fmtv rims on some m817 dumps. Bead locks but no run flats. With double the bolts they should have more strength even though the studs are only 5/8ths
Bill, Looks like you will need to move the cross chain back 2 links at least. Get the chains as tight as you can then drive a few feet and tighten again. I have never used tensioner myself on truck tires. It will take a lot of tension to hold the chain tight as you speed up if it is not snug...
It will take a thick spacer to clear the springs and at that point you will be close to the 10 ft width. Bridge truck wheels are hard to find around here, have a friend looking for some.
I believe the hubs and spindles on the rear ends are different. I know the rear axle shafts in the bridge truck are longer. As the hubs stick out making the rear end wider requiring the longer axles. The bridge truck rims are the same inter & outer.
I'm very fond of m916 or m920 trucks, with 1600x20 or 21 the speed is very close to 70 mph, and the m916 equipped with the Allison 4700 7sp (my favorite) is over 70. These will have lockers in both rears, depending on how wet it is these go very well with out chains and with they are monsters.
