16" LAV wheels

[Cornholio]

Has anyone ever tried using LAV wheels with 11.00 R 16 tires? I know that the bolt pattern is no where near the same but I've seen a few adapters made by the M37 crowd to mount this wheel/tire combo.

I've got a set of these tires and I am debating between using the stock rims, a set of Marsh rims, or looking at this LAV rims.

Any thoughts?

I thought about it, but thats as far as I got. The way they are setup, I would wonder if its too much back spacing. Wonder if you could get the can off a stock rim and put the whole center in the LAV can. Then you could set your own back space.

Interesting idea about the use of the stock center.

I got a reply from m376x6 over on steel soliders that interest in an adapter never materialized.

If you are going to do all that work, at least do it to a rim a normal person or shop can take apart. Tubeless split ring rims are about as complex a set up as has ever been made. Re center the HMMWV rims or get a custom set of tubeless made up is my advice.
