H1 hummer 16.5 Double Beadlock wheels and Balancing Questions

[Outback]

Some good info here. I was thinking of trying some Mil. spec., 12 bolt take-offs on my '01 Dodge 2500. I see the Military's back spacing is 7" for the 8 on 6.5 bolt pattern. The Dodge back spacing is 6.5". Will the Mil's clear the brakes and steering? Are these hub centric or stud centric? currently we are planning a four month trip in the TC, mostly on road and I didn's want to wear out my current off-road tires on pavement, if i could find a 9" wide wheel with or without beadlocks and some wide-ish tires (read super singles). I read that the Goodyears are actually 34" tall.




THE Good years are actually 34" even though the tires say 36" Those are the WRANGLER II Goodyear. They should be avoided at ALL COSTS. They are not a good tire for asphalt. The ride is horrible and almost impossible to balance.

I found out what the main O-rings are so I am ordering a batch of them from a another source. TWF wants $5.00 per O-ring. this maybe just a one time deal on selling these wheels but I intend to not pay retail for the replacement parts.

What tires are you going to use? I have a set of 12 bolt H1s in the garage and 35x12.5 BFG ATs on the truck now on regular 16.5" steelies. I just haven't got around to refinishing the H1's yet.

I am actually going to clean and inspect all these wheels, give them new O-rings (both main and valve rings) and a new schrader valve housing and sell them. all said and done I ended with 12 sets and the trailer.
