How to identify WWII jeep wheels
  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.

 

 

Solid disc wheels of this type are found in two widths, 4 inch and 4.5 inch.  The 4 inch wide solid disc wheels  were supplied on prototype jeeps in 1941 and on the early MB's as mentioned above.  The 4.5 in wide solid disc wheels were supplied with early civilian jeeps just after WWII  (cj2 and early cj2a jeeps) and also on a few "specified" MB's that were equipped with 6.50X16 tires through serial number MB120700, but there are differences...  

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...

 

 

 

But in this side view some differences can be seen.  The wheel on the left is the 4 inch; on the right is the 4.5 inch civilian wheel. 

 

 

 

The 4.5" civilian wheel above has a "square" shoulder and a sloping shoulder just below the tire bead seat.  The military version of the 4.5" rim has two square shoulders as seen below... 

 

 

 

The rims are stamped.  This stamping shows the markings on a 4.5 inch rim dated 1946 from an early civilian jeep.

 

 

 

Many times the original combat rims or solid disc rims that came with a WWII jeep have been lost and later jeep wheels have been installed instead.  The wheel in the picture below represents what is often found. This is not a "solid disc" type wheel as the vent slots are clearly visible.  This wheel is from an early cj5 jeep.  These type wheels come in both 16" and 15" diameters.

 

 

 

The wheels are mounted to the hubs with both left-hand-thread (LH)  and right-hand-thread (RH) lug nuts.  The right side of the vehicle has RH threads; the left side utilized LH lugnuts.  The studs are normally stamped with an "R" or "L"...

 

 

 

The lugnuts themselves were normally marked in some way.  Most of the right-handed ones have no markings or  3 R's. The left-handed ones have three L's or small notches around the edge as visible in this image...
