The 5 ton wheels have a different lug pattern than the deuce, so they will not work unless you are going to do some serious modifications.

Well, the TIRES will SURE work and well, its all the Army is putting on these days, NO 9:00s anymore only 11:00s .although they are putting on radials, the 11:eek:o NDT's are super sweet on a deuce, and some feel the 9:00s are a little to light duty for the front expecially with a winch, I may not agree, But I will say they steer easier and I have em on just the front of one of my deuces, and will get the rest on one day, but I keep changing my mind, so use the tires and the rims are worth selling , 5 tonners are plentyfull out there!!!

I Think those are 5ton Bridge truck tires and rims.They will not fit a Deuce or a regular 5 ton.They have to have the wheel spacers as the offset is so great.I think they are about 49" tall.Were those on Ebay?

They were on Craigslist in Seattle.
I think...maybe. I cant find them to post a link.
Sorry.
I think they would look good on a deuce.

If I'm not mistaken, I think that the bridge truck tires and rims will actually fit a 10 ton truck. The tires in that photo look like 14.00X20s (bridge truck) to me too.

How can you have two different tire sizes on your truck. Wouldn't this destroy the sprag in the transfer case? One tire is turning faster than the other, right?
