What wheels are on your humvee?

[LouiSypher]

Mogman is right: stock wheels are 8.25" wide and have a +54 offset.
With the wheels you just ordered the distance between outer (tire) sidewalls will be almost 6 inches more than stock.

Uhg. These wheels were supposed to fit an H1. I misunderstood offset. That the negative moved where the lugs attach closer to the outer edge from the center. Damn glad I commented here now. So I need a positive offset not a negative. Thanks gents!

I'm super confused. I just looked up on the black rhino website with an H1 Alpha selected and it gave me the following wheels as fitting:

What am I missing?

Guess the term "fitting" should be better defined....

 

[rjf189]

They have a -12 offset, which I'm to understand is within tolerance. These are the rims that I ordered and I understood that they would fit:

VISION® - 85 SOFT 8 Gloss Black (17" x 9", -12 Offset, 8x165.1 Bolt Pattern, 130.8mm Hub)

If that's not the case then I'm going to need to cancel my order...lol

These wheels have the correct offset: http://www.hummerproducts.com/hummer-wheels.asp#17spokewheel&panel1-14

Here are some pictures of them on my truck in case helpful.

I don't see any prices.

I don't see any prices.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it?

Last time I was looking, I saw these rims and it looked like they had been discontinued. I didn't find anything that said they were or not, but something changed and all of the places selling them stopped listing them for sale.

I don't see any prices.

I paid $570 apiece + shipping back in early 2021. I would call Tom at HummerProducts.com and he can quote the current price (I got mine directly from him). Looks like RubberDuck 4x4 has them for $610 each. https://www.rubberduck4x4.com/product/cepek-wheel-17-powder-coated/

They look like they require wheel specific lug nuts? Is this the case?

I keep thinking I should get a set of rims like this, along with reasonable winter tires so I can save the military tires and rims for parades....

I'm not sure, but he included the lug nuts for free when I bought them. I can look up what kind he sent me (should be on the invoice) if that would be helpful.

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 upright and terrific person.

I will check into them, but I see no pricing on his site. $600 a wheel is a little pricier than I wanted to spend.

Ended up buying these. Had to do the fitment beforehand to make sure they worked but for 2k this works for me.

A couple of cans of black PlastiDip and you're in business! I can't stand two tone wheels, but that's just my opinion.

What size tires do you have on those rims?

Those are 37s but they look bigger.
