2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Anybody run Hummer(H1) wheels on their SRW truck?

[JZumpf]

Just as the title says, ive got a set im not using and considering running on my '97. I am just curious if anybody is running them without spacers on a SRW truck, as they do have 7" of backspacing. I think i will need 2" spacers or so in the rear, but im not sure about the front.

aren't the early h1 wheels 16. 5? not a very good tire selection in that size anymore.

Yes, they are. And for the tires i would like to run, there is still PLENTY of tire choise with the 16. 5" rims.

That makes me think you like to run mud tires,do your wheels have the beadlock set-up?

I'm interested in this also. I saw someone that had a 2500 chevy with hummer rims and they looked sweet. what do I have to do to make them fit on my dodge?

Yes and yes, they are double beadlocks.



I test fit them without tires, and they clear all the steering components and brakes, it just looks like i may have clearance issues with the tire and controll arm. I will have to get a tire to test fit with and find out i guess.

go to usa6x6.com buy recenters and do it yourself or you can have them do it for you.

Guys. H2 wheels are the better choice in my opinion. They have the same bolt pattern and are 17" wheels. Tires are cheap in the 17" size now due to take offs of new trucks and no market. I see a set on a 97 Dodge CTD 4x4 with 295x75x17" tires on them nearby my home. Nice! The center hole may need machining out to about 4. 72" I think to clear the rear axles. If anybody knows, let me know. I have a pair located with tires for $200. I hope to go try tomorrow. Herb

I've been looking into this and h2 rims seem more money. would these fit my truck? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/12-5...tegoryZ66482QQihZ017QQitemZ270106600944QQrdZ1

they seem cheap. I'd like to put heavy duty commercial tires on them, no super swampers.
