"...So that all Army vehicles will have wheels of standard size and pattern".

And that's why 7.50-18, 9.00-18 and 10.50-18 tyres are so hard to find today, because the Australian Army selected rare-as-Rocking-Horse *** 18" rims that no-one else in the world used, for the reason they're a standard size!

Mike,

No, these 18 inch rims do not fit CMPs.

GMH however also produced 16 and 20 inch 2-piece rims as part of their CMP production.

Mike

Obviously the article was propaganda meant to fool the Germans. The Japanese would have seen right through it.
