Will Combat Wheels work on the older M915 Trucks like the M917 and M920

Will 5 ton combat wheels work on the older M915 trucks specifically the M917 & M920? Thanks

Interesting question. But actually just about any wheel will fit any vehicle if adaptor plates are required and fabricated. Personally I happen to like big singles on the M series trucks running "in line". So have used a variety of rims and tires that were reasnably priced and available. I.E. I have British army AEC militant wheels and tires on my deuce with British pattern 1200x20 tires.
You can clearly see the 6 to 10 bolt adaptors I made for then to fit. And that the wheels all "track" in line. (my 1/2 penne'th). Good luck with your intended project.

The m939 combat rims will fit the m900 series trucks. I know the largest tire you will want to run is the 395/85r20 on the M915, the others can run 16x20s but you will need to run hemtt rims on the front and do some machine work to get everything to fit just right. There will still be some rubbing on tight turns, not sure how much room there will be with the weight of a full dump for articulation. If you try it then report back!

I already have 16.00r20's on Hemmts on my M920 but wanted to go smaller on my M917 for height reasons and thought it might be easier going with Combat wheels.
