I was looking through some refs at the local library and in one book I found some shots of what looked like a Panther G with steel road wheels on the inside and rubber road wheels on the outside. Has anyone ever heard of this? I'm sure that in a battlefield pinch you could make them work but am I just imagining things?

I've seen pics of steel wheel Panther G's with odd rubber tyred roadwheels replacing damaged steel ones. I also believe that the MAN factory turned out a few of it's last panther G's with steel wheels on the rear stations only.
