What wheels are these?

Hoping they might fit my m51a2.

LMTV. They'll bolt right up to 939 and 809series trucks too.

Does that apply to my m51a2 also?

Yes. He's saying that they are compatible with all 3 series.

Only if they are tapered on both sides.

Been looking for a pair of photos that show tapered vs non tapered. Have some handy?

They are all tapered on the side your photo is showing. Wether or not they are tapered on the other side, so that the wheel can be put on facing inside, can only been seen from the inside

It is the difference between so called hub pilot and stud pilot I have learned from other posts here on this site. I am not an expert.

I think the older trucks used the taper on the lug nut engaging the countersink in the wheel holes to center the wheels.

Newer wheels have a small countersink just to break the edge and use flat back nuts I assume to hold the wheels on. The hub centers the wheel on the center hole.

Please correct me if I am wrong those in the know.

Forgive my ignorance in the tapered part, is it the edge I have outlined in red here that is the taper?

 

[simp5782]

The lug nut holes

Budd holes are tapered

Hub pilot are smooth and not tapered

 

[WillWagner]

No, the holes that the lug studs go through. Tapered means lug centered, flat hub centered

I have a friend that has installed them on an M813. They should be tapered on both sides of the lug nut holes.

150 a piece for these a good deal if they are tapered on both sides?

Not bad $.

I have them on my M54A1.

Rear hubs flipped as duals just not for me, looks much better IMO.

There are different makers of the wheels. Some did tapers on both sides. Some didn't

 

[SandBar]

Got a photo of the back side.

 

[Jbulach]

Search for my post about lmtv tires and iv got a pics.

The taper he is referring to is the chamfer that matches the taper of the nut. There should be a chamfer on both sides of the rim at the stud holes.
