Most M's except the very early ones i.e. 39's and some 40's..had either 11 inch or 12 inch rims and they came with either 11-38's or 12-38's.

If you put cheap smaller tires on your M to save a few bucks, bear in mind it won't look right with it's front higher than the rear. M's are a handsome husky looking tractor with the right size rear tires on them. With small rear tires they look "heavy nosed" and that just ain't right.
