FELGE CJ2/CJ3/M38
Most unrestored WWII jeeps have long since lost their original wheels. This page is intended to help the restorer identify the correct Willys MB and Ford GPW wheels and lug nuts...
Pictures and data provided by John Barton & Bill Oakes.
All Willys MB jeeps built after vehicle serial number MB120700 and all Ford GPW's were equipped with 2-piece split-type "combat" rims. Combat wheels are easy to spot by the eight bolts holding the two halves together.
Very early Willys MBs (the so-called Slat Grill MBs built in late 1941 and in January 1942 through serial number MB120700) were equipped with a standard 4 inch drop-center "solid disc" wheel. All WWII jeeps used 16 inch diameter wheels. The standard tire was a 6.00X16 NDT (non-directional tread).
This picture shows a 4 inch wide solid disc rim (left, gray) and a combat rim (right, olive drab) side by side. The solid disc rim got it's name because it's center part lacked the vent slots we typically see in other automotive rims. The heads of the eight bolts that hold the halves of the combat wheel together can be seen.

This image below shows a 4 inch and a 4.5 inch solid disc wheel side-by-side. From this vantage point they are nearly identical...
