As I recall the M8/M20 carries 900x20 tires, while the M3A1 carries a 750x20,
although some were later fitted with the 900's. But I am relying on memory,
which has its faults. However....
The early production Reo G742 (M35) trucks (up through serial number 94907)
also used 20 inch tires mounted on "combat rims." The M35 had 1100 tires
mounted, but I'd bet the wheel itself would fit. This may be worth exploring.

Hope this helps,
David Doyle
