5 ton wheels on 2 1/2?

[tiny110]

I have been looking but I can nor find a definitive answer. Im want to get away from lock ring rims and run 395's on my m35a2. So what I'm needing to know is what's the lug pattern on the 5 ton rim? Will a hemt adapter work? And what would the back spacing look like? Anyone ever done it? Thanks

Before you get pounced on for not using the search function, here is a link for you. Please search in the future, it tends to raise the blood preasure of a few people in here and this topic has been discussed at length here for a long long time.

Thats what the HEMMT adapter is for. Standard 5ton rims are 10 lug. If you search you'll find several threads (with pics) of exactly what yous asking.

Edit: Kenny types faster than I do.

But..... posting search results like that dont work. IIRC those results will disapear over time.

A quick search would have found that issue and how to resolve it. (TIC)



Ok, sorry... I'm done now.

Oops, guess I learnedsomething today.

Search terms:
HEMTT Rim Adapter
HEMTT Rim Adapter Plate

Maybe it would be more helpful if we taught the newer members how to search and what some specific terms would be?

If I make it to the GA rally this year I will give you a quick lesson.

Sometimes I just gotta be an arse, sorry.

How needs an adaptor. Found this pic on another thread.

You can contact M1075 he sell the Hemtt rims with the 6 bolt adapters !!

Is a five ton truck rim and a hemt rim one and the same? I know about hemt rims and the adapters for it. Please read be for you post up about running a search. 90%of the time I read a thread all I read about is how to use the search. Wouldn't it be faster to answer the questionthat asked?

No.

Ever hear the phrase: "teach a man to fish"


As for your first ? No, not all 5ton rims are the same. There are split-ring type just like the deuce, but with 10 lug holes rather than 6. There are HEMTT rims and 5ton combat rims. Also there are FMTV wheels. All have 10 lug centers.

"search (dummy)"

I'm very new here at SS, but I'm NOT new to Internet hobby sites in general.

In my short time here, I have become VERY cognizant of the members who instantly say "SEARCH ! SEARCH!" whenever some unfortunate soul asks what seems (to him, at least) to be a reasonable question.

I'll just say this, and shut up: IF YOU HAVE TIME to type a message saying" Search, search!", are you SURE you can't find the time to help the new guy to the extent of just adding a few words, such as "Search for this term: '---------' "

Would that be so difficult? It would be putting your knowledge of the subject AND THIS WEBSITE to good use, and helping someone else in the bargain. It would also improve the atmosphere of this site, if that means anything....the atmosphere is already very nice, thanks.

Well at first I was going to say no. You would still have to maching out the centers and add in the 6lug adapter plate. Thats why HEMMT wheels are so exspensive, the machine work. But now that I think about it, I do not know if the deuce combat rims and the 5ton combat rims share the same bolt pattern (where the 2 halves bolt together) I suspect they do not. If they did I suppose you could take the center of the deuce wheel and mate it to the other half of the 5ton wheel. But if you did that you would have the deuce combat wheel already and it would just make sense to just use those. In the few years that I have been on this board I have never seen a thread discussing mating those two wheels.

I would think that using a plate on the 5ton combat rims would not work. Most of the ones I have seen have Way too much offset. Even if you put the plate on the inside, it would not provide enough space to keep the rim or tire from rubbing on the drag link. Just my 2cent worth.

Mabye not the most helpfull post, but its an idea. If you have a large amount of combat wheels by you i would be interested in some if they are the right price.
