I'm kinda at a crossroads with my wheels. I actually have a cucv with 12 bolt hmmwv wheels and baja tires, dot date 2011.
I'd like to drive it more, but the rides is killing me. I have tried weights, beads and Hummer balancing rings. Sometimes it will be decent, other speeds shake the truck.
Anyway, I've run big tires on all my trucks, and never had an issue with balancing big 'non-military' tires. These h1 seen to be the exception.
Being a cucv, I'm with my current axle setup, I need to maintain the ~7" backspacing, I've read through all the posts here and checked it many wheel manufacturer websites and it appears there are NO off the shelf options for a H1 replacement wheel, all have a low offset which would stick out way far on my m1009.
So my options are paying a lot extra for custom wheels with the h1 offset.
Or
Trying a new set of H1 wheels
My main question is: is there a particular H1 wheel combo that produces a better ride than others?
I did search and read through a lot of post, it seems typically people favor the Baja over the wranglers and mtrs, but many of those posts were back over a decade ago, since then there are new versions of the tires etc.
Do the newer 24 bolt and 24 pair bolt Wheels perhaps balance better than the 12 bolt?
I actually put my 12-bolt Wheels on a bouncer by themselves with no tire, and they needed 16 oz LOL
I plan on buying the newest dot date 100% life tires that I can find.
