I have a M931 Truck and found a set of LMTV wheels and tires. Will these wheels and tires fit my 5 ton? Thanks for any input.

Are you sure? I am under the impression they are the same 10 on 11.25" as a 5 ton.

Yup I looked at the guide you are right the bolt pattern is the same. The mrap wheels are different sorry.

You can pull off the lmtv ctis stuff the valve stem will accept a standard schrader valve although it seems to stick out slightly more than I am used to.

No need to apologize - where it gets really tricky is the wheels from the Caiman MRAPs that have the same wheels and bolt pattern as the FMTV. They are "MRAP wheels" that fit a 5 ton, but aren't the "standard MRAP" 10 on 13.25" pattern.

The offset looks slightly different. Don't think it would make much difference though. I believe the caiman is fmtv based and shares a lot of parts.

These are FMTV wheels. After taking the CTIS off they bolt right on.

Make sure the rims are beveled on both sides. I have found some that are only beveled on the outside and can not be flipped to the rear as they don't have the cone seat for the lugs.
I run camian on my front and 5 ton combat on the rear. The difference is very minimal literally I think .002. Peashooter has an excellent break out diagram in another post on the exact rim specs.
