CCKW Wheels on a G-221, M1 trailer

My M1 trailer apparently has CCKW wheels on it. This info was gleaned from the G-503 forum. I do not have a spare. These wheels look like the wheels on an M-105 trailer and should be easier to find. So my question is can M-105 wheels, that is Deuce wheels, fit on my G-221?

It looks like the thickness of the wheel material may be thicker on the Deuce wheels, maybe the only difference. Can any one confirm?

Thanks,

The M105/M35A2 wheels are for 9.00-20 tires and are wider, and may rub on the body. You will have to check to see.

The glacier has finally receded around here so I was able to get some numbers for you.

The M-35 wheel and tire I measured shows : from the bolt face to the outside of rim --10 and 5/8 inch
From bolt face to the edge of inflated tire--- 11 and 1/4 inch

Measuring a CCKW/ G-506 wheel---8 and 1/8 inch from bolt face to edge of rim.

Also looked at my G-221 trailer. I has CCKW wheels with 8.25 x 20 (skinny road tread) rubber. Things are SO FREAKIN TIGHT I could not use the tape to measure clearance, only about the width of two fingers of room.

I could pull a wheel off the trailer and roll that m35 wheel/tire over and try to mount it but I don't think there is any way it will fit--------------
Hope this helps
Jim
