M101A1 - Using HMMWV Wheel/Tire

Has anyone used a HMMWV Wheel/Tire combo on a M101A1 Trailer? I realize that they will have to be re-centered. Has anyone done such a thing and how did it turn out? I am looking for a less expensive alternative to buying 16x9 NDTs for the Trailer since I have a set of HMMWV wheel/tires just sitting in the barn.
Thanks

I've bought a few from GL with 12 bolts on them.
They fit but are close & on some trailers the park brake cables have to be tucked in some.

Hmmwv wheels wont fit M101A1....has the wrong axle / drums.
Now a M101A2 can be used.....it has the proper 8 lug pattern.
Some guys used a wheel spacer to bring the hmmwv wheels out a little to clear cable and or structure.

Yeah I totally missed the A1 part.
I was referring to 12 bolt wheels on an A2.
