Hemtt vs combat vs normal rim identification?

Would they be worth it for the 4 rear hemtt rims?
I have all my tires on HEMTT wheels. If you choose to run them on the rear the rear tires will be INSET just as much as the front tires will be OFFSET. So the front and rear will track several inches off of each other.
The benefit is that all your tires will be interchangeable.
This pic is back a year and a half before I changed out the very crummy poorly worn, cupped, out of round Goodyear tires with some new 16.00s.

For hemtt wheels on the rear I think offset lugnuts would be worth it.


With combat wheels on the rear, you don't need them because the studs on the rear are longer. Without the thimbles on the rear, the rear studs are now a smaller diameter - the same as the front. The original front lugnuts can be reused on one of the rear axles and for the other rear axle you'll have to source 10 LH & 10 RH lugnuts that were originally sized to fit a front axle.

*in my case someone put longer M939 studs in my M809 rear axles so what I'm saying above may not be true for someone else's truck.

Noted. I found those offset lugnuts super cheap so went with them all the way around.

Hopefully mounting tires on all the rims this weekend.
