Will these wheels fit a M920? (i think HET wheels)

NDT is correct, those are HET wheels. I believe someone had HEMTT wheels for sale here.

Yes, they will the 5 ton rim, But the 5 ton rim does not fit the m920 front brake drum with modifications to drum.
You may want to look for a pair of MK48 21" wheels for the front. With 16.00 tires they will have the same outside diameter & they will track better with the 5 ton wheels on the rear.

Just bought 8 of these to put on the M920 I plan to purchase in the coming weeks. Will the wheels bolt to the 920 axles (pretty sure the 920 and 5 ton share the same bolt pattern)? Just looking at them the pattern looks a lot larger.

If they won't fit anyone between Ft Meade and Winston-Salem want to buy the wheels??

The nsn on this GL listing is for a PLS M1074. Does the HET use the same wheel? I ask because I have one that looks just like it in the classifieds but my GL description was for a RG33L MRAP? Or, do all 3 use the same wheel?

They wouldn't. You'd need to run 16.00r21 tires that they use on the PLS/LVS.

Ok. I think I would be better off just running 5-ton combat wheels and grinding the brake drums for clearance, does it make the drive horribly with the 5-ton wheels on the front? Another option I have that I could do on the front wheels would be to recenter them with a 5-ton centersection. I don't really want to do that on all 8 but if I had to do it on the front I could either cut the centers out of some 5-ton wheels, or cut some new centers out of some thick plate steel, then just use the HET wheels on the front?

Sounds like I really just need to get two HEMMTT wheels for the front and call it done (i assume they are 20"?)

Scored a deal on some 16.00x20's on HEMTT wheels, met the guy about 2 hours from home, traded a 5-ton rear axle and $600 for 7 tires/wheels in like new shape. I guess the 8 tires I bought from Ft. Meade will be put on 5-ton trucks, kept as spares, etc.

If anyone has ONE HEMTT wheel available that is somewhat close to zip 27107 I would like one more so I can have matching wheels on the drop axle of the 920. I may just run 5-ton combat wheels on the drop axle as spares.

Can't wait to pick up the 920 and get these monsters bolted on!
