I would echo 98G's assessment.

It looks like a 395/85R20 Michelin XML on a 20 bolt FMTV wheel, which has the same lug pattern (10 on 11.25") as a 5 ton.

now theres the intelligent answer we were looking for, I thank you sir
Well government liquidation allows previews so the best way is to bring a tape measure and look! They may even measure for you if you call and ask nicely. If you buy based on everyone's educated guess and get something that doesn't fit, it's your loss. Or find out they have hidden damage... I will guarantee they fit a wheeled military vehicle, just maybe not yours.

AZ/KS/MO/OK/NM/NE, varies by the day...
OKC GL only allows previews after the auction is open, and only by appointment which must be made 3-4 weeks in advance, and frequently the items aren't listed that far in advance, making that impossible. Doing a preview of items 1000 miles away isn't realistic. Despite their claim of "we strongly encourage you to inspect the item", the truth is they expect you to make your bidding decisions based on the ad details.

OKC GL being willing to go eyeball something for you is laughable at best.

5 ton combat wheels.
There is very little difference in offset literally .002
With the combat wheels on the back dished in you really can not tell the difference in between front and back.

I got 3 new caiman wheels with run flats and Goodyear mvt's that I did not want to break down. They are beveled on each side like the 5 ton combat rims so they can be front or rears.
3rd is my spare.

Caiman and fmtv rims are the same except run flats not used on fmtv.
