Pretty simple. 5 tons use a 10 lug pattern. Deuces use a 6 lug pattern.

FWIW, Unimogs also use a 6 lug pattern as well. Those will not bolt up. Nor would a 15" M1009 6 lug wheel.

The only wheels out there that will work in this case are:
Stock wheels with 395's squeezed on them (not recommended)
M35A3 wheels with 395's on them (Not recommend by some due to bead differences)
Recentered HEMTT/5 Ton wheels
Custom 1 piece wheels made by aftermarket.

Alternatively, you can mount an adapter plate to the deuce hub to use 5 ton wheels.

Please do not post auction links per the site rules.

The wheels that you posted were FMTV wheels. They will not work without using a hub adapter approach or machining out the centers and installing a plate.
