5/4 ton used a 16.5 rim. CUCV was a 16" rim. An original 5/4 ton rim should fit.

Default rims

Hi guys, well I went down that road also , when our 76 5/4 rad vans were turned in someone at the unit pulled off all the spares and ladders, from there they went on to the museum in Oshawa, so I tried them, guess what , they didn't fit , so makes you wonder who the brain trust was that ordered the hubs and rims for the trailers, maybe the same guy that ordered the last two soft skin trucks to come into the system, thank god for the best piece of mobilty in the system ,the combat boot, or am I just crazy,
regards Frank

My rims are indeed 16.5s. The tires are Goodyear 9.50-16.5.
