I was looking at some of the wheels on ebay, and the MRAP wheels look pretty close. But I didn't go to all the trouble of sourcing original non-directional tires so I could put them on modern MRAP wheels.
Something tells me these Staghound rims would have been used on other heavy US produced vehicles as well. I had a look at some photos of the M1 155 towed howitzer as Adrian suggested, and they do look like the ones.
I just did a search and found I missed a batch by about 10 years. Some of the viewers mentioned they would also be on the 155 and the M21 ammunition trailer. I found an online manual for the M21 trailer, and the diagram for the rim gives a part number of G134-03-69730. G134 is the ordnance code for the Staghound, so at this point I am going to say the Staghound was the primary user of these rims, with the 155 towed and the M21 ammo trailer also using them.
