From memory, the CCKW is 18, the DUKW is 20"

Worst case by it for future trade if it's reasonable. You might use it until a 20" surfaces.
The 20 fits a CCKW, but I recall mention that the front windshield is too close and could end up smashing fingers in a turn if you held onto it.

My DUKW is too far down the line for resto right now, I think the 1918 Liberty takes a 20 wheel, but it's going to be a custom project.

Yes I'll just hang it in the shed for someone in the future for a swap or something I've also did some research this morning and found found some dukw steering wheels also have a couple of pics in the wheel that marks the position of the wheels
