M151 tire size
The originals were 700 X 16. 750's should fit fine. I am not sure how big you can go beifre they hit the fenders.

RE: M151 tire size
With 7.50x16, you are adding 1 inch to the overall diameter of the tire. So, figure on 1/2 inch on each side of center. If most of your driving is on pavement or hardpack dirt, no problem, but just keep an eye out for fender rubbing if you flex the suspension at all offroad.

RE: M151 tire size
I have some tires mounted on rims off the Marines "super jeeps", they were 750:16.
The super jeeps were M151 that the Marines fixed up as fast attack jeeps, loaded with firepower and lots of ammo. They put bigger tires on them, but the neat part was, the ones I saw looked like the unit did all the work on the jeep. No millon dallor contract to build them, the full roll cages were just heavy duty pumping pipe, the extra MG mounts were mounts that were modified. Just low dallor, Marines working with what they had and making it work.

RE: M151 tire size
750 will fit fine...800 (if they even make them) would be a little tight.

Good day to all. Would 225/75-16 all-terrain tires fit in my m151a2? Thanks.

225/75/16 = 29.3in x 8.9in /16
The 750R-16 size is equivalent to 235/85-16= 31.7"x 9.3" So yes they will fit.
