i tough about that too but the only way i found was to cut the center off some budd wheel and weld it back in a regular 16 inch wheel

Why not run the 11.00-16s on your combat wheels? I know a guy with a Power Wagon running that setup and is very happy with it.

You can run the tires on your current rims with no issues, but if your looking to go to a tubeless rim then your going to have to get custom rims made. Marsh Racing Wheels is one place where several people have gotten custom rims made. http://www.mrt-wheels.com/ I have no idea what it will cost you though to have that done.
M37s are HMMWV in my world!

Hi,
I have new GI issue 16x6.5 one piece tubeless M37 & M101 military wheels.
I'm going to put in the swap meet in a bit.
