Default PLS rims

Is there anyone who could give me some measurements of a PLS rim? I need: inner diameter, diameter of center hole, lug spacing and lug circle diameter. I've measured HEMMTT rims and they won't fit. The lug spacing on a HEMMTT rim is 3.5" and on a M123 it's 4.00" I am thinking of converting my 10 ton to singles as good used 14.00x24s are hard to find, and I can get 16.00x20s with 90% tread at a good price.

well the LHS and the PLS are the same thing.. just one more axle. So it not going to work on your 10 ton. If you want rims I bet I can get new ones but there going to be in the 700 ish range. I know the people who make them for the military.

( I drive LHS's and PLS's for the army)

O.K I saw in an older thread someone said they were different. Oh well, the search continues for something to fit.

Stazworks makes great rims for offroading but I would never use them on a heavy truck. I don't think they are DOT approved either.
