809 Series rims

[Pappa-G]

A couple of quick questions;

1) How wide is the stock factory rim on the 5-ton?

b. How big of a tire will fit on the factory rim?

C} If you compress the sidewalls will a 16.00 x 20 XL fit on the stock rims?

This ends the $50 questions. The $100 questions are next and they're a little bit harder!

Thanks for the help.

I have heard on here -

A) they are the same width as a deuce rim - 7.5"

B) they are wider than a deuce rim maybe 10"

there is too much snow for me to pull one off of my M54A2 to verify what the exact size is but I hope some one on here can give us an exact measurement

Ive searched all the threads I could find and HEMTT rims and combat rims are mentioned but nothing about the stock rims.

All the ones I ever had in my hands were from early M52 and M54 5tons.
Firestone 20x7.5", same as Deuces, same riveted construction, different center plate.

This might help. Check out the pics. My M818 came with 7.5 X 20 rims and stamped on them is max 12 for 12 X 20's I take it. All 10 of mine have the welded centers. Most on my deuce have welded centers, a few are rivited centers.

my 819 has 12" and 11" , the 12" is used for the 1400s, the tm calls for 11" for the 819s 1200s, my old m52 had 10" with 1100s, the parts tm shows three sizes

So has anyone taken off the 11.00's and put the 16.00's on the same rim?
