    What wheels are on your humvee?

    Guys, Tom Cepek sells amazing 17” rims. I own a set of 5 that came with my H1. Check his website. Easy to paint or powder coat. Proper offset. Each rim supports more than 3K lbs. I still prefer steel split rims with Feltz tires BUT Cepek rims are outstanding quality and Tom Cepek is a truly...

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    Guys.., I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… I buy my surplus guberment tires at $200 clams apiece. Used 24 bolt rims cost 30 clams apiece. Runflats cost $15 apiece. Shipping adds another $75-100/tire. Anti friction snot adds another 100/tire Price, offset, size, and ride quality are...

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    We have stock wheels that balance the weight closer to over the hub bearing whereas wheels that extend further lateral move those forces away from the bearing and load the bearing eccentrically causing the spindle in effect to point upwards somewhat and place more stresses on the bearing and the...

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    Our vehicles do not have straight axles going from side to side and our spindles might only be 10 inches long. On the rear axle for a solid axle, the bearings don’t take too much additional stress with extended wheels. They have a long cantilever to counterbalance. On those same vehicles the...

    Please look up blue hummers and spindle failures. More common than I think you’re aware.

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    Whenever you revive an old thread, you run the risk that people have left the forum. Joe the Barber left the forum a good while ago, in an angry tiff, because he didn’t like the way people questioned some of his work on his truck.

    Don't do it. Your acceleration from start will be poor unless you turbocharge your rig. Stay with 37's.

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    Outer pattern looks like you drilled into tires to prevent tire rotating on the bead. Either that or it looks like you clamped the outermost tire lip to the rim for the same purpose for off-road use. 8 bolts are for securing to your vehicle. Inner 6 bolts make it look like you have floating...
