Hello, I am in the process of fixing up my M715 looking other military wheels or other vehicles that might have the same bolt pattern if anyone knows the advice would be great.... Thanks Kevin

You probably should figure out what tires you want to run first. There is some nice rubber out there that will fit on a stock wheel, Radial wheels will have to be cutom made and seem to be pretty pricey. What tires are you going to be running?
If you're looking for one-piece stuff, you are nearly out of luck.
It would be easier to have Diamond, Marsh Racing, or Stockton Wheel make some up.
Yup. Pretty much stock or custom wheels are your only options.

Ford one tons of the mid 60's used the same bolt pattern BUT it may have been only for duallys. I've got one on the back lot I keep meaning to fix up and its wheels would work on the M. That would accomplish nothing in this case, but I find it hard to believe only the duallys used that bolt pattern?
Then there's the question of the center hole being big enough, though if you can find a wheel with the same lug pattern that will work, I guess enlarging the hole would be a cake-walk!

I want to run 46 inch tires, from another military truck, I have access to a machine a shop and could weld a replace the center of the wheels to make them fit, but these 46 have 20 inch rims which i have had no luck finding either.
Just checking my options out, thought about super swampers to. Also had stockton wheel quote me a price. So looking at all routes.
Think about upgrading to a open knuckle 60/14 axle combo if you're actually going to take the truck off road, the stock front axle shafts are not going to like 46" tires and any sort of abuse whatsoever.
It'll open up a lot more possibilities on wheels too.
This post is closed-captioned for the hearing impaired.
so it looks like everyone is in agreement on that the stock axles will not hold up, all news to me, always had light duty stuff before this a CJ5 which had a model 30 up front and model 44 in the rear running 39.5 and only ever had on axle problem, but i never had much horse power either. It wasn't a road warrior niether cause everone i trail with always broke, i just winch it over or out of bad obsticle. thanks for the info everyone
