will FMTV rims work on an 818?

[maddawg308]

Have a gent interested in getting my last FMTV rim, he owns a 818 tractor and needs a spare wheel. He swears he helped a guy at the SS mini rally change his rim, he has a 5-ton tractor 818 series and the rims look almost identical.

Here's what I have found. Second page half way down. Pictures and all.

Yes

Thanks for the info - I distinctly remember a couple threads where someone said "no they won't" but after looking into this more, they will fit but the backspacing is different. No biggie.

For a spare tire rim I think it would be perfect.

FMTV wheels are perfect for use on 5 tons, and the tires are especially well suited for tractors like M818, M931, & M932. If you want to convert a M809 or M939 series 5 ton to super singles, I highly recommend them. The primary tire choices are Michelin XML 395/85R20 and Goodyear MVT.

Could you run 16r20 on them, with out any problems?
