Is this a typo and pictorial error or is there a 6th type wheel for the HMMWV?

I just noticed that, seems unlikely that would be what they are referring to in the OP document..

A long time ago, i picked up an auction lot of gov surplus for someone. In it, were 5 20-bolt Hutchinson rims for the hmmwv. I know i took pics, but i will never find them now.

It is what they are referring to E load range are the 24bolt paired and 20 bolt aluminum 17in

The 245 75 17 MTR is a 10ply tire there is an 8ply tire available in a 315/70/17
There is an 18in aluminum wheel as well for a 285/85/18 MTR is 10ply.

So now there are at least 7 HMMWV wheels.....

Cool, now we know!
That is one of the issues I have with forums, there is no real library where "articles" about different subjects are easy to find, the search feature is not really helpful.

Well the there are a bunch of more setups then that will be filtering out.
Yes - if we included the options in the civilian world...
But the image in the OP is clearly referring to the stock tire/wheel assembly with the NSN 2530-01-563-8620

Looks like there are more choices in 17" VS 16.5" I am sure they are popular.
