What are these rims for?

[Nicholas]

I found these rims, unsure if I can use them with 14.00x20s on my M52, any ideas if they will work.
Thanks

Did you measure them? They definitely look military-ish. I'd buy them all if the price was right, and I had money.

They have around 4 inches from the outer edge of the beadlock to the outside of the flange.

They might be rims off of a lowboy trailer. That seems like a lot of offset for regular drive axle rims.
They look very familiar but I just can't place them.

Assuming they have the correct bolt pattern, you will need to flip the rear hubs with depth of offset.

They almost look like they would work on a bridge truck. I would be hesistant to use them on a M52, not knowing if they would get the tire far enough away from the frame for steering.

Would this work perfict if you flipped the hubs like Kenny said? For some 1600/20's on a 5 ton? Would this cause bearing issues on a 5 ton if you flipped the hubs? Man if these would work like that I could use a set for my M51A2..

These should work fine in the rear with a hub flip. But since the backspacing is so much more than a normal combat wheel used for singles, there could be some rubbing issues in the front when turning (especially 1600s). If they are cheap enough, they might be worth a shot (don't forget the cost of new tubes/flaps). They do look ideally suited for a bridge truck (w/ spacers).

Hell, you guys miss that most are riveted? Off set would be an easy fix.

Can you get a good deal if you buy them all?
They would make great trade goods for meets.
Too bad they are so far away.

I've got 5 of these in Omaha. Heavy enough to give a gorilla a hernia. I'd happily part with all five for $350.... Here are some pics.

They are $150 each; they don't want to budge unless we buy a huge quantity. Their relatively high prices have resulted in them having some unique items in their salvage yard.

i would make sure the bolt pattern is correct before exchanging any $. they may be a bit large between the holes.
