You gotta be kidding me.....Those are Humvee rims. Not gonna work on the deuce. AND...they aren't 20" rims needed for the 395's. Here's your sign....:cookoo:

Well they deffinitly are 20 inch rims I just measured them....I see some numbers on the top and bottom half of the ring...I just need to get something to clean up around the numbers and ill post the numbers up on here. Maybe that will help on figuring them out. Also I am looking to buy plates to recenter these wheels so they for the Duece like they do with hemmt wheels....I don't think they are humvee wheels they sit from outer lip to outer lip of rim 13 wide

Anthony: those numbers would be manuf. dates...
Look for numbers stamped somewhere like 20x10 or 20x11 (= wheel size), plus a 8x275 (= stud-hole pattern)

Also, this seems to be a MPT style rim. So we should look for vehicles coming with tire sizes 335/80R20s (12.5R20) or 365/80R20s (14.5R20). Both sizes take a 20x11 wheel, which would be more or less 13" WOA.

so i had put a picture of the wheels up on Facebook to see if anyone recognized them and i got back they are wheels from an RG-31. Does this sound familiar to anyone? i don't know much about the different vehicles. anyone have any knowledge on the RG-31? These vehicles supposedly have had different wheels made for them since they were produced and someone mentioned this may be one of the first designed they had for the wheels for it. The back half of the rim is flat and doesn't dish out through the front half.

Did you see my reply in your classified? I wouldn't worry about it, just find some 5ton rims with the 16 assembly bolts and have some deuce plates made up. I bet nobody will know the difference.

Ok well in another thread I asked what they were too.

I know where there are maybe 36 or more? of these wheel assemblies

for sale. They are listed as fitting m939 and THAT is what made me start

researching them. I wrote the auction company this Am and told them they have a problem

so they may have fixed it.


Anyone that wants some PM Me. I can't link here to auction
that has them for sale listed wrong w/ brand new XZL tires on them in

all auctions but one but if you PM me I do not think I am breaking the
rules to give you the poop on where they are.
