Although IH usually recommended that the rim width could be 1 inch less than the tread width, the tires fit better and are curved less if the tread width is the same as the rim width. Example is that the 13.6-38 has a 12 inch tread width, thus fits a 12 inch rim better than an 11 inch rim. Likewise a 14.9-38 tire with 13 inch tread width fits a 13 inch rim best. The tread width was used in the old tire size, they did not change the tire. Thus 12/13.6 are the same size tire as are 13/14.9. There is not old size for the 15.5. 15.5 has only a 0.6 inch wider cross section than a 14.9 (I don't know the exact tread width of a 15.5), so it can go on a 13 or 14 inch rim. After saying all of this, my 460 had 15.5's on a 12 inch rim, they looked ok to me, but had to be misfitted to a certain extent. I replaced them with 13.6's; they fit perfectly and and better than the 13.6's on 11 inch rims on my M. To use double bevel rims on an H or M, you also have to have the cast centers off a later 300 or 350 or 460 for an H; or 400, 450,or 560 for an M. the 6 "spoke" centers will not accept the double bevels.
