I'm about to do same tire swap on my M101A2. I recently downsized my tow vehicle, and I needed new trailer tires anyway. That 245/75R16 tire size was the stock GM 3/4Ton truck tire size from factory on many trucks from early 2000s so they are usually easy to find in a E load range and not too pricey. If you do seek 8 x 6.5 wheels confirm the hub hole size and year model they come from. GM 8 luggers had a few different Metric patterns in a short number of years in the 2010s+ but i also think they held the 8 x 6.5 until 2010.
Thanks! I found some 8 x 6.5 wheels off a M1008 that worked great & paired them with a couple of Goodyear Wrangler 265/70R16 tires that came off my wife’s Tacoma.
