Is this an hemtt wheel?

The easy way to tell is that HEMTT rims have 10 center bolt holes, and spaces for either 10 or 16 bolts around the outside. FMTV/LMTV rims have 10 center bolt holes, but have the spacing for 20 bolts around the outside.

As a point of clarification, my experience has shown that HEMTT wheels have 16 bolts, and that M939 series wheels can also have 20 bolts.

i may be mistaken but I dont believe they will work. I was looking at those same wheels. The problem I see is that to cut out the center you would be cutting into the outer bolt holes. The hemtt wheel is flat and doesnt have that raised section. i hope this makes sense.

I wouldn't say worthless, but suffice to say that to use these LMTV rims on something other than an LMTV you'll have to put a lot more effort into it than it's worth. UNLESS the tires are nice on them, then it may be worth bidding.

It might be worth it if an axle swap is in the works as well, the Meritor axles used on the FMTV series are pretty beefy, but they aren't auctioned off cheap.
