Just a quick question for some of the hemit guys. Are the hemit rims interchangeable with sn M-915. Looking at an upgrade to a fellow owners 915. He is looking at hemit rims. Will they fit ? Five tons. Deuces. Goats m 38 s no problem. I know very little about hemits. What’s a good rim tire combination. He is running dually rear. Tires. Wants to go to super singles. Or it the M931a2 wheel and tire the ticket ?

The M915- M916s are very heavy. HEMTT wheels are the ticket as they are 10 Ton rated. You will need the offset lug nuts that have a recessed cone that is threaded to ensure a proper number of threads grab, same as what a 5 ton would use to properly mount them.
I have seen some for sale like what you see here but you may be able to find a little better price at a local Semi shop. Not having an M915 myself I do not know if the wheel lugs are the same stud size as a 5 ton or not.

Rears yes. Front No. The offset Is too much and the wheels hit the tie rods before then even get tightened down. 20in road steer tires aren't common.

Go with a super single 385 65 22.5 or 425
