Will these wheels work?

Post by rybread514 » Tue Mar 20, 2018 6:16 am

Hello all,

I found this posting on Craigslist, and I'm wondering if these wheels are used on the M38A1, as well? Also, if this would be a good deal? Please see the link below for the wheels in question. Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the feedback. I'd like to find the correct style for an M38A1.
From the information I've gathered I will need the following:
Ordnance number...7387807
Type...std drop-center
Rim size...4.50 x 16.00
Stud circle diameter...5.496 x 5.504

Do the original type M38A1 wheels have the 1/8" hole by one of the lug holes?
