I have a M931 Truck and found a set of LMTV wheels and tires. Will these wheels and tires fit my 5 ton? Thanks for any input.

You can pull off the lmtv ctis stuff the valve stem will accept a standard schrader valve although it seems to stick out slightly more than I am used to.

Yup I looked at the guide you are right the bolt pattern is the same. The mrap wheels are different sorry.
No need to apologize - where it gets really tricky is the wheels from the Caiman MRAPs that have the same wheels and bolt pattern as the FMTV. They are "MRAP wheels" that fit a 5 ton, but aren't the "standard MRAP" 10 on 13.25" pattern.

The offset looks slightly different. Don't think it would make much difference though. I believe the caiman is fmtv based and shares a lot of parts.

Make sure the rims are beveled on both sides. I have found some that are only beveled on the outside and can not be flipped to the rear as they don't have the cone seat for the lugs.

I run camian on my front and 5 ton combat on the rear. The difference is very minimal literally I think .002. Peashooter has an excellent break out diagram in another post on the exact rim specs.
