10 lug wheels

I usually spend my time on in the Deuce threads, but I have several 10 lug wheels which someone suggested came off a M1076 trailer.

I'm wondering, among the US military vehicles are all 10 hole wheels the same lug spacing, are the wheels interchangeable in that way?

I know the offsets can be different, mine for instance are very different from most I see.

Thanks for any assistance.

Military or not, for truck wheels 20" and up, there are only two different patterns (= pitch circle diameter) in use, out there: 10 on 335mm and 10 on 285.75mm (= 11-1/4").
First one is the most popular, by far. I'd say it's 99% of all big size trucks in the world.
So the other dimension would the exception of the rule, nowadays. Typically found on the FMTV and all 5-ton series military trucks.

There are actually 4 lug patterns for wheels over 20in.. Big Hub Pilot (the HET/MTVR/MRAP), Little Hub Pilot(modern day semi trucks, M322/Globe trailers) , Big Budd (13" wide) and Little Budd all in 10lug(915s Hemtts, 5 tons and FMTVs and civilian trucks)

Yeah, maybe even more than 4, if we included the many different stud hole designs in each case.

But since the OP's question was about "same lug spacing"..., my answer was two - which of course means NO, not the same for all (20") wheels.

To which that answer is no there are 4 types of 10 lug used in the military with different spacing

And the short answer is that your wheels are not compatible with M939series or M809series trucks.

Thanks for the replies.

I was able to use the 10 to 6 adapters commonly sold on ebay, so, I suppose probably the 11.25. I know the HEMTT is 11.25.
