Are you trying to change wheels on a LVS? If so that is probably a bad idea. The LVS has way higher side loading then a HEMTT and weighs significantly more.
The LVS wheels do not have a internal bead lock. They are a form of split rim. You remove the 3 plates from the rim (after deflation) then push the rim beads together about 3/4" inch to expose the lock ring, pull the lock ring then pull the rim halves apart. The plates are purely a safety item...
Don't go LVS wheels if you want standard and available rubber. The 16 x21 tires are only for the LVS and there are no more LVS's being used in the system. I have collected a set of spare new 16 x 21 tires for my LVS knowing in the future there will be no options for replacement.

3-4mpg man yours is getting then mine does. My A2 doesn’t get much over 2 maybe 3 if I drive very gentle. Of coarse the problem may be with my heavy foot:-D
Not sure about 60 since they top out at 54 aua. The HEMTT is definitely a better vehicle going down the road but in town or tight areas the mk48 will turn inside the HEMTT
