    Could someone please help me ID these wheels? I picked them up for a trailer project I'm putting together. I'm curious on their approximate year (range) and what vehicles they may have come on originally. Thanks.

    Thanks Bill. The M100 trailer is just being built to sell in order to fund more Willys parts, so I might save these for something else in the future since I have five.

    Could not resist a response, They also look exactly like the 15" wheels on my 55 Cj5. I dont know if they are original equipment for that year or not though.

    Do you know what width would they be? Can I put a 10.5" wide tire on those?
    I'm guessing probably not.
