HEMTT wheel. Two piece. Outside wheel front is flat across the bolt pattern and 16 wheel bolts. This one is steel.

This is a combat wheel
You don't want to use thimbles alone to hold a wheel on. Here is a special offset lugnut that can used with a HEMTT wheel on the front in lieu of longer studs:

There is 2 flavors of 5 ton combat wheels but they look identical except the studs are either 5/8 or 3/4
Great suggestion on those special lug nuts. Found them for 3.20 a piece online.

I have all my tires on HEMTT wheels. If you choose to run them on the rear the rear tires will be INSET just as much as the front tires will be OFFSET. So the front and rear will track several inches off of each other.
The benefit is that all your tires will be interchangeable.
This pic is back a year and a half before I changed out the very crummy poorly worn, cupped, out of round Goodyear tires with some new 16.00s.

For hemtt wheels on the rear I think offset lugnuts would be worth it.
With combat wheels on the rear, you don't need them because the studs on the rear are longer. Without the thimbles on the rear, the rear studs are now a smaller diameter - the same as the front. The original front lugnuts can be reused on one of the rear axles and for the other rear axle you'll have to source 10 LH & 10 RH lugnuts that were originally sized to fit a front axle.
*in my case someone put longer M939 studs in my M809 rear axles so what I'm saying above may not be true for someone else's truck.
