Default Clarification.....

Not sure about the stud pattern.... the 8 bolt pattern of the CMP is rather unique.

When they installed duals on a CMP they installed the civilian brake drums, and the two civilian rims which fitted perfectly on the CMP axle spindle...... backing brake plate and brake linings were the same size as the CMP so everything worked fine. The typical civilian duals I have seen on CMPs are either 5 or 6 bolt pattern Budd wheels with 5 circular holes/opening cut out of the rim as seen on 1955 GM 3 to 5 ton trucks.
