My questions is do 25 pounder rims fit on a CMP or are these some other type of wheel.

Gord,
The 25 pdr wheels have the same stud configuration as the CMP and British 15 cwt trucks. I actually used two 750-20 wheels temporarily on one whilst restoring it. This rim saga is puzzling as I have measured several rims on 15 cwt trucks and note that a number of the wheels are marked RF (runflat) and new Trackgrip tyres fit without much of a problem.
