    Wheel Backspace Adapter Q's. M1008

    Are those the 36" bias ply's? I forget now. I wish I had known those were you earlier. Did you take the ad down for a while? I remember looking on CL right before I bought mine and didn't see any listings, so I decided not to wait and just buy mine online. I totally would have come check those...

    Wheel Backspace Adapter Q's. M1008

    Do it! (then give me one of the spares?...) I've seen these pics on Craigslist. I don't know why he hates them, but who cares, that's really cheap! If you understand what they're designed for, they work great. Just by looking at them you can tell they're going to be suicide on ice, but...

    Wheel Backspace Adapter Q's. M1008

    Matt65, did you re-gear your spedo? Just wondering if that is odometer miles or actual miles? I haven't attempted to figure out what I'm getting now but wonder myself. Before the lift and tires I was getting 18-20 mpg, that's combined city and highway, but mostly highway, not drag racing...

    Wheel Backspace Adapter Q's. M1008

    Shrapnel, that thing looks sweet. I stand corrected I guess you COULD fit just about anything one one of these trucks, assuming you don't mind cutting up/removing quite a bit of sheet metal. I'm curious about what kind of articulation you can get with this setup. Is it full articulation while...

    Wheel Backspace Adapter Q's. M1008

    I'm not saying you're wrong, maybe the application was a bit different, but with my lift and spacers I'm rubbing pretty hard now on the back of the opening in the front. When I'm turned or when I bounce over stuff. I almost got stuck in te middle of the street today just trying to turn around...

    Wheel Backspace Adapter Q's. M1008

    I think you'd have to do some pretty major trimming. Like, almost remove the fender. I have no practical experience even attempting something like that. That's why I got the lift. Before I installed the lift I rolled one of the 37"s up next to the truck and they were just barely smaller than...

    Wheel Backspace Adapter Q's. M1008

    One more thing before someone jumps in and asks. I ordered my lift kit from ORD here: Offroad Design - Fullsize Chevy GM 4x4 Suspensions, Parts and Performance. These guys are great. They specialize in older full-size Chevy's and know the CUCV's well. I talked with the owner and he has a M1028...

    Wheel Backspace Adapter Q's. M1008

    Btw: I got my wheels and tires here: MILITARYOFFROADTIRES.NET - We're declaring war on high tire prices!. I got 4 ea. 37" x 12.5" x 16.5" Goodyear MT Military OZ HMMWV tires already mounted and balanced with 95% tread on the 12-bolt bead-lock wheels WITH the run-flat inserts already installed...

    Wheel Backspace Adapter Q's. M1008

    I just lifted my truck last night and went through all of this. You need a 2" 8x6.5 to 8x6.5 backspace adapter and 4" suspension lift on a M1008 when running the 37" x 12" x 16.5" HMMWV bead-lock wheels and tires. You only need them in the front for clearance, but it looks a little goofy in my...

    Wheel Backspace Adapter Q's. M1008

    As far as I know the M1031 is the same as the M1008 up front. Everyone seems to be running 2" spacers so I would assume you'd be good to go with that.

    Wheel Backspace Adapter Q's. M1008

    Cuz I'm a broke-@$$. Tight budget on this project. Thanks for all the help guys. I ordered my 2" spacers yesterday from Billet Wheel Adapters.com Wheel Adapter Super Store. Final price: $114 with free shipping. I ordered my wheels (12-bolt bead-lock's w/runflats installed) and the 37" MTR...

    Wheel Backspace Adapter Q's. M1008

    I just ordered my "new" HMMWV 12-bolt bead-lock rims complete with rubber run-flats and 95% tread 37" radials! I'm pretty excited. I will be getting the beast lifted 4" hopefully within the next month. Now for the Backspace Adapters! I don't know what the Dana 60's studs are or what I should...
